When cities die they take their civilizations with them.

Most country dwellers could not live without electricity or even public water for many of them. We have come a long way from 640 acres and a mule. Give that to a family today and they would eat the mule.

I encourage folks to imagine life without electricity by going through their day, each small step at a time.

That thought experiment encourages people to figure out “solutions” (or partial solutions—the perfect is the enemy of the good) with stuff they can buy _now_.

MOST rural dwellers have their own well.
