you use the meger amountof energyfrom geothermal to stock up over extended periods till got enough alcohol to do a big crop, and if put in work anywhere can make small amounts of geothermal power, would probably need other sources of power thou

He'd need more that that. The fuel supplies wouldn't last long. Most generators require petroleum fuels and the ones that don't need gas or woodchips. Solar wouldn't be viable because nuclear winter.

I doubt anyone would be able to stockpile enough energy to keep themselves alive by growing stuff let alone them and anybody else.

we can use nuclear power

also there are some geothermal powerplants in Finland. Some people would survive with food grown from energy that they produce.

I have no confidence that the dominant power structure will retain control in a post-apocalyptic situation.

Pray tell, how do you intend to harness this mystical "geothermal energy" in your homemade bunker? [Hint: you can't.]

[viznew]

there will always be someone trying to accumulate influence and power, and yes get equipment to drill a well drill past 60 feet make a few holes add water on milds days the worse production hot and cold days are best deep down avg temp is 60F(or something like that) warm water will flow up and you can harness the weak flow for low power

[Jalpha]

Someone with enough equipment and supplies to do something like that is most likely to be murdered and looted very early in the game. By people who have no idea what to do with what they got.

[viznew]

very true lol there are easyier ways

[Jalpha]

Really? Because I've spent my whole life looking into this topic (closed circuit human habitation) albeit for rather different reasons and it's very complicated and convoluted.

[viznew]

yea i just meant power wise (methane from poop and rotting things (pools of water above ground to collect algea which you let rot in waste pool), batterys from scrap copper and aluminum, gravity/water)

[viznew]

all you really need to do is manage to grow potatos and youll be fine lol

and for the furture of humans enough people to breed as times goes on we will adapted and the wasteland will become the norm
