    People don’t realize how dependent they are on power in general. It runs basically everything, with the exception of your car.

    Yet, nearly nobody has any plans for what they’re going to do if the power stops working.

    Most households, almost everything is electric or electrically assisted… the only real exceptions I can think of, are your vehicle, barbeque, and water systems (not including hot water). So toilets flush, you can cook on the BBQ, and you can drive away from the collection of wood and bricks you call a home, and go somewhere with electricity… that’s about it.
