- throwup238 2y agoMy recommendation if you survive the apocalypse is to immediately go take control of a hydroelectric dam. They're usually easily defensible and as long as you have megawatts of power, restarting civilization is relatively easy. As long as the turbine windings haven't melted, they will last for years. Preferably find a dam that used to power a smelter on site so you can recycle all the now useless cars into new metal. That would quickly turn you into a post-apocalyptic kingpin. You can also subjugate downstream communities by threatening them with sudden water releases. Bonus points if the only approach to the dam can be washed out with a release.
- Rhapso 2y agoHuh, funny that my homestead site is 3 miles away from such a dam. I'd like to keep the lake at a decent level too, I like fishing. The TVA made them good! I know what I'm up to, i just really like trolling goldbugs.
- passwordoops 2y ago"to immediately go take control of a hydroelectric dam." How do you propose to accomplish the takeover and operation? What about security? What scale of dam?
