Insulate your pipes if you run a power plant.

Don't cheap out on cold weather package for wind turbines and separating your self from rest of grid isn't a good idea.

What about on an individual basis? The heating thing was interesting to me. With power and natural gas failing, what third option could a guy have had?

Wood, a strong back, and a good splitting maul is the long-term solution. They may not have room to store any meaningful amount of propane, setbacks and all. Wood does seem a good option.

Diesel and a bit of solar power to charge the batteries to run an air heater for a small area like a utility room or bedroom.
Propane??

You guys talking about Propane, you talking small heaters or running your furnace? I have a propane furnace but pretty sure that ain't working without juice...

If you have an outdoor wood burner for heat (I wouldn't think many in TX would have that) but maybe, they require power to run.

When is the President going to go to Texas. Seems like it would be important, has been in the past. Is he too frail and demented to go or what?

It's interesting to ponder, because wood and propane could be equally as hard to come by in some of those parts. If the trend of no yard/no setback continues, there won't be room for a tank. Even if you have room, is there any business going around filling doomsday-only propane tanks?
I wonder how much juice an electric ignition furnace takes to light. I got to see one in action, and it looks like an intense surge of power to generate that much heat that quickly. Those little 1500 watt heaters that are the size of a 12-pack of white claw pull enough to probably knock out a fish house generator.
