SuspiciousObservers is a favorite too. I follow it daily for years now. Part of my routine. I've been studying electronics on the side, a little light reading:) We can keep our electricity, though it looks like we'll have to generate our own. Basic electricity is fairly straightforward. We can still have lights, heat, etc, post apocalypse. If you can build a wheel and turn it, you can have power. There is also steam power, very reliable. You can run tractors and trucks, factory machinery, etc, with that. America ran on it for 70 years from 1850 through 1920 ish. Fancy stuff, like digital systems, that we are probably going to lose. All of that stuff that is not heavily shielded, which is pretty much all of it, is going to get fried. All of the grid related stuff, destroyed. Vehicles too, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your outlook. We need to consult with the Amish about horse and wagon tech.
