I would think that yes hydro would be the easiestnto maintain. Here in North Carolina, the options are relativly few. We have a couple of nuclear power plants and many more coal fired plants.
I would think that the nuclear plants would go off line very quickly. Just the trained man power to keep the PLANT running would be difficult a BEST.
THe coal plant might last a little longer. At least until any stockpile of coal was exhausted.
THis could set up an interesting scenario. IN NC, there are still some coal mines, some coal fired locomotives and coal fired electric plants. I could see this combination of resources being at the center of a power play between any existing civilian govt, military backed pockets of organization (Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base, Camp lejuene Marine base, and others) and a civilian "militia" type.
Mike strikes with his two cents....Again!!!
