The context of this subthread is the intentional destruction of "large, bespoke transmission transformers" so the on-site backup generators will hold you over for a few days, maybe a week or so until they run out of fuel. Meanwhile the lead time on replacing those transformers is years, and that doesn't account for the collapse "into the Stone Age" that is unfolding in the meantime.

You know you can just get someone to rock up with a tanker lorry and put more fuel in, right?

It's expensive these days but it's something I do across a few hundred sites about once or twice a year.
