    Also UK citizens told to prepare three days of food and water. What do they know that they aren’t telling us?

    That's hilarious b/c the US military is the 47th largest greenhouse gas emitter on the planet so there is no way any base can go 90 days w/o the grid.

      That just means they burn a lot of fuel. Generators can burn the same diesel as a boat, and most can burn Jet A, too.
