1. You can invest in a supply of freeze-dried foods. We keep a small container for emergency use (15 days for 4 people). I've been told that Mormons keep a year's supply of food on hand.
2. We live in an old house and can open the windows a few inches from the top and bottom to keep the air circulating. Insulated drapes on the windows on the sunny side of the house. Since we live in a modern era, there are some good quality battery operated fans available, check a boating supply or outdoor store.
3. Our home has several fireplaces which have been converted to gas logs. A down comforter on the bed is a godsend. Fleece sweats, down booties, wool socks, and a hat for the body. Down or fleece throws on the couch to wrap up in the evening. Open the drapes during the day to let the sun warm up the house & close them in the evening.
Steam or electric are probably cheapest TO RUN... But most expensive to buy.... Butane would probably be next... It is actually a Mixture of Butane, Methane and a few others... In Australia it is the same as we use for the BBQ..... This would probably be next.... but unless the car is Factory converted,... then you will probably need some Petrol/Gasoline just to start .. You use maybe 2 or 3 Cupfuls each time so you don't use Much... It is also a Good backup if you run out of LPG....... The rest... it depends on th e Government and Fuel Companies which one is cheapest but what it SHOULD be id From cheapest up... Diesel, Unleaded, Premium Unleaded
Forget the rest... They would be cheap to run but the conversion would be so expensive it would be not worth the effort
Not at all. The concern over Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) popped up in the mid-1980s, less than a year after I started working for an electric utility. A study was being data mined and an association popped up between electrical workers and two kinds of brain cancers: gliomas and astrocytomas. That was all - a doubling of frequency for each of those cancers in the electrical workers in the sample.
That was mighty scary. Those are really nasty cancers and EMFs are everywhere - not so much around electric meters (especially modern digital ones, which do not have motors) but certainly things with open loops, like electric blankets. My job often took me into high and extra high voltage (230-500 kV) substations, where the EMFs are so high that touching a grounded fence produces a painful shock.
A few years ago (time flies so I don't remember when it was but probably about 5-10 years ago) a much larger study found no association at all - the other was a statistical cluster. That does not turn back the clock on Euro regulations, though. The World Health Organization (source) leaves it open-ended: "To date, no adverse health effects from low-level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency or power frequency fields have been confirmed, but scientists are actively continuing to research this area."
HP is just mechanical energy KW is electrical energy (mechanical and other) both are valid - conversion is .747 so yes car has total 960HP of which 160 is electric by a 120Kw motor ...
