Are u serious? If ur oil refinery is destroyed how are you going to pump oil to your house?

You can buy it on a black market unlike electricity.

  • Yes, buy crude on the black market and build your own refinery. Or you can run your own DIY fracking rig in your backyard. There must be some yt videos.

  • Are you suggesting we plan our global energy infrastructure based on attributes like "how well it fares in a post-apocalyptic barter economy"?

    • Are you thinking that there are no wars and power plants do not get destroyed? If you live in a non-nuclear country the chances are non-zero and it is not smart to depend on large, centralized, easy to destroy power plants. It actually dumb to build those large plants instead of decentralized smaller plants.

      For example, a president of a certain country threatened to make a "power plant day" in another certain country.
