RED ALERT! BLACKOUTS ARE COMING? Find Out How To Prep For This Emergency?

In this video, we’re talking about a problem most people don’t think about until it’s already happening: blackouts, brownouts, and a fragile power grid—and why the rise of AI + data centers could put even more strain on an already aging system.
Then I walk you through my real-world experience installing a whole-home solar panel + battery setup—the wins, the disappointments, and the “stuff nobody tells you” (including the true cost, the payback timeline, and why I ultimately had to build a critical loads panel for a real down-grid scenario).
In this episode:
Why grid reliability is becoming a bigger concern
How AI’s energy demands may accelerate the problem
Practical options: generators, fuel storage, propane, and solar
What my solar system can realistically power (and what it can’t)
The “critical loads” approach for longer outages
The dirty secret: why solar may take 10+ years to break even (depending on your setup/usage)
I’d love your input in the comments:
1. Is the coming energy crunch overblown or understated?
2. What have you done to prepare—generators, fuel, solar, batteries, etc.?
3. If you’ve gone solar, what companies have been solid (or a nightmare)?
4. If the lights went out for real—what skills should families be building right now?
