a simple backyard redneck distillation can produce 98% pure alcohol from fermented grain/seed which contains 75% of the volumetric energy as gasoline produces. it can be made ahead, stored, used as needed. disinfects the kitchen, and liquid refreshments.
a steam engine can crank a generator. there is tonns of free harvestable fallen wood to use as fuel.
its simply a matter of incorporating a steam pressure boiler to both heat the house, power a generator, and a still. use the alcohol to run the dirtbikes and snowmobiles, lawnmower, tractor etc..
maybe home made alcohol hydrogen hybrid fuel, and hemp seed oil lubricant is just the thing waiting to perfected.
