I considered that, but then I realized that you're basically banking on a massive natural disaster or surviving armageddon. I'm not going to plan around the apocalypse, and whether or not Mother Nature wrecks your shit is dependent on where you live. I suppose if you live in, say, hurricane alley, it might be worth discussing. Hurricane Isaac blew up this way and devastated the area, leaving us without power for close to a week, but in these parts we call that a hundred-year storm. It's a pretty expensive investment to save yourself the comfort of having power for a few days. (And my street was one of the last to get power restored because our power lines were going to take the most work to put back. Most people were up and running much quicker.)

If you're the kind of person who would like to have a bunker or tons of ready-to-eat rations in case society completely collapses, then sure, it probably fits your mentality such that you would 100% want to do that. Otherwise, not so much. Batteries are mostly for if you live somewhere where you can't use the grid as battery because you don't receive any credit for selling your energy, because then at least you can use your own energy at night.

Or at least this is my minimal understanding of the subject. Please correct me if I'm underinformed.

Don't worry. In a contest of knowledge, betting against plum is the smart move. Everything you said is right and even if it wasn't his post still doesn't make sense
