This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Small scale solar with battery storage is about 5 kEUR for a small home. But generator backup for those 15-20% of time not covered is about 1 EUR/kWh. Grid as backup is still cheaper, where available.
