Solar powered mansion sounds sufficient to me.

Wind up radios and lights? NO Somebody's idea of a joke.

Work you ass off for a few seconds of usable light (or radio), then dimming. I mean you would be cranking for the REST of your life. HOW are products like this ALLOWED on the market??? I bought one of each. Not remembering (apparently) Newton's second law. Or was it the third? the action and reaction one. I only had one semester of physics, Got an A, but it was YEARS ago.

I had a goal zero solar panel in 2013, about the size of 3 unopened greeting cards. I strapped it on top of my bed roll pointing straight up. After a days hike it only charged my phone about.. well dang I can't remember if it was 25 or 85 percent now. It wasn't that great, but it's something.

Yeah I guess its something, I think tech has certainly advanced since then and probably worth looking into. I want a solar paneled bug zapper now... lol this just came to mind, maybe I should look if they have made a good one... brb
