The Great Reset is telegraphing more shutdowns and rolling blackouts. Let's see, 1+1=2 unless we are talking about gender.

I wonder how the 'middle of nowhere' types will be affected by this.

We'll probably fare a little better, but the chest freezer full of the beef someone raised last year won't last long. The rolling blackouts they are forecasting have nothing in common with past blackouts. If you get all your electricity from hydroelectric, you'll still be blacked out. Windpower in West Texas (wind has been providing100% of their electricityfor over a decade, of course not many people live there) blacked out. It's not going to be the classic high population/demand surpassing supply brownouts and blackouts of a typical heatwave in summer.
This is intended to cause maximum pain and complete submission to our "betters" and knowing they aren't going to tolerate another wave of rational government, I think they'll use it to steal this midterm election. And all the climate change dupes won't see it for what it really is, they'll chant more renewables more renewables!
I'm 100% off the grid, saw this coming 15 years ago. That won't make it any better, just extend my agony.
