How much generating capacity can you get out of a typical hybrid?

You’re joking right?  A lot… Enough to run an entire neighborhood…   The Prius makes 50,000watts alone.

With the right circuitry, there is no need for power plants in the United States (save that they’re more efficient than internal combustion gas engines in the 76hp range) - existing hybrid car stock’s generating capacity exceeds the entire US supply.  And it’s entirely untapped. 

Nissan just tested it for giggles, and found the Leaf (which has NO engine at all) can power a house for an entire week.  The batteries alone are a game changer, utterly transforming grids.

Self-isolating and re-tieing inverters. Economic household ATS systems. Do those exist?

Yes I have a patent in one type of this this; it exists in numerous variants.

ATS-es for partial loads of up to 6,000watts are like $400.

You sound smart, but did you research any of this or just post?

Unless telecom infrastructure has been diligently changing out the lead acid battery approach at all their remote terminals, powered gpon, hfc and antennae plants will never last more than minutes. If at all.

Enough independent distributed capacity and now comes the ability to create grid islands. How might that look?

Electric grid shortage is likely coming to NYC, courtesy of folk of certain political persuasion and their love of stone age era living. IP decommissioning.

If you have CO loop copper, keep it.

The market is going to fill with battery storage sooner rather than later.

Solar is just exploding.

Your car will "house tie".

6G will solve your data problem.

This article details some of the issues with California's "new reality"
of planned blackouts. One of the big things that came to light with
these blackouts is that our network infrastructure's resilience is
pretty lacking. While I was (surprisingly to me) ok with my DSL
connection out in the boonies, lots and lots of people with cable
weren't so lucky. And I'm not sure how bad the situation is with
cellular infrastructure, but I assume it's not much better than cable.
And I wouldn't doubt that other DSL deployments go dark when power is
down. I have no clue with fiber.

So I guess what I'm wondering is what can we do about this? What should
we do about this? These days IP access is not just convenience, it's the
way we go about our lives, just like electricity itself. At base, it
seems to me that network operators should be required to keep the lights
on in blackouts just like POTS operators do now. If I have power to
light my modem or charge in my phone, I should be able to get onto the
net. That seems like table stakes.

One of the things we learned also is that the blackouts seem to last
between 2-3 days apiece. I happen to have a generator since I'm out in
the boonies and our power gets cut regularly because of snow, but not
everyone has that luxury. I kind of want to think that my router+modem
use about 20 watts, so powering it up would take about 1.5kwh for 3
days. a quick google look shows that I'd probably need to shell out $500
or so for a battery of that capacity, and that's doesn't include your
phones, laptops, tv's, etc power needs. What does that mean? That is a
major expense for a lot of people.

On the bright side, I hear that power generator companies stocks have
gone through the roof.

On the dark side, this is probably coming to a lot more states and
countries due to climate change. Australia. Sigh.
