I would also make a b-line for the supermarket and stock up on canned goods, or pillage them if need be. And finally, I would live out the rest of my days fighting off neighbors who think I have a refridgerator, or a generator, and spend my free time drawing, reading, writing, opening cans, and relearning how to become a hunter/gatherer.

Possibly hunt and trap that damned skunk in my neighborhood. Chase the local raccoons down as well. Make them pay for crapping all over my yard every night.

It would depend how electricity stopped working. If it was just no more giant hydro/nuke projects I could get by quite fine with my still and generator but if it was a huge change in the laws of physics it would mean going back to 14th century life with a few major differences. The Amish would rule the world.
If it was a giant EMP pulse I have an old gas guzzling muscle car that would still run (take that hippies)and am already to paranoid to use a GPS so I am fine with a compass.

I think it is pretty unlikely just because of how many of my whack job survivalist friends are counting on it. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8006#Comment_8006 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8006#Comment_8006 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:37:30 -0800 Ferburton
I work at a gas station and we're currently having some electrical issues, which keeps screwing with our store's computers. So half the time the debit, credit, and gas aren't working and the ATM is down. This causes great confusion to the would-be-buyers who come in to the store. What do they do without the ability to use their plastic cards? Though they're told before hand by the lovely signs we have on the door that read, "CASH ONLY" it is still all so confusing.

"You mean I have to drive across the street to the gas station over there? Asshat clerk!"


Oh and I'd probably masturbate more if the hurricanes of the past and lack of electricity haven't shown me otherwise. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8014#Comment_8014 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8014#Comment_8014 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:58:43 -0800 Unsub http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8022#Comment_8022 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8022#Comment_8022 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:15:45 -0800 Infamous Amos http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8025#Comment_8025 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8025#Comment_8025 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:23:32 -0800 Pooka I can deal with no tv, lights, computer, phone etc...but i would sorely hate to miss a hot shower...

Then I'd loot every supermarket and convenience store I can find and hope my family and I can survive the first winter. If we make it through the riots and the cold, we might have a shot.

Realistically, though, we'd probably all die. By this point, we are horribly ill-equipped to survive without electricity. Oh sure, some of us think we could do it, but the simple fact is that electricity gives us everything we need to live. Unless you're already living off the grid, no power = death. If for no other reason than the off-the-grid survivalists will have fortified compounds from which to conquer the rest of us in considerably short order.

I, for one, would prefer not to lose electricity. I like electricity. Aside from the occasional blackout (which makes for a nice break from the routine), I'd prefer the juice keep flowing, please. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8128#Comment_8128 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=8128#Comment_8128 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 10:05:40 -0800 lofidelity

I gather we'd probably teach other people how to build similar generators, although considering about 90% of the electricity we use in this part of the world comes from hydropower, I think it would probably be unnecessary, short of a massive EMP burst in the neighborhood.

2.Once panic is over, I'd bury all the food outside, make sure the house is properly insulated, and drag all the firewood inside. Find my skis, and hope summer comes soon. I don't like thinking about not having electricity. My grandparents told me horror stories of working to survive 12 hrs a day, freezing winters and little food. I might move down south, because right now Sweden is pretty miserable. More so without heat and artificial lighting. It sounds romantic, but 5 hrs of daylight is not all it's cracked up to be.

In the wake of said storm came a phalanx of reporters, looking for some kind of Katrina II story about the failure of FEMA to help these poor souls. Instead what they got were stories about hardy, self-reliant communities banding together to work things out without any majordomos swooping down from Mount Olympus and telling them what to do.

Which is probably why so few people have heard about this. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=9494#Comment_9494 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=296&Focus=9494#Comment_9494 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 07:50:57 -0800 Doc Ocassi
