Yeah, I’m a big supporter of expanding the nuclear footprint as more green options (and power storage solutions) are further developed (and in addition to rollout of those options), but this is outrageous.

This isn’t even to power critical communications infrastructure that needs to be disaster resistant, like any of the internet backbone locations.

It may be a good idea to look at what impovershed areas of the world are already doing with “junk” parts. Lots of carts and wagons out there made from old car frames, using torn out seats as chairs and couches, reuse of lights. Old radio units can sometimes be run without the rest of the vehicle. Less likely on newer vehicles that shove everything through the BUS in the touch screen head unit, but older casette deck radio units that were for audio controls only are good candidates. Screens themselves might be able to be reused with clever wiring.

It might sound silly, but checking out old Top Gear’s challenge sections where the hosts frankenstein vehicles together could give some ideas. Also old shows like junkyard wars.

While I appreciate the sentiment, this is straight from grandma’s facebook feed.
