Life without electricity



Life without electricity

Present day energy is mostly provided by electricity. It is a good product that a whole industry is based on, too. That includes the many repair people who work outside when electricity goes out.
Mostly and to many, no public electricity often means no heat during the cold season.  Even those who use natural gas for their heating still suffer if the public electrical power is off and does not power the various controls.
So can we survive. Of course we can. That idea includes keeping our water pipes from freezing and bursting.
Often it, like the heat alternatives, comes from burning more old fashioned things like wood and coal. This use of energy applies to cooking and cleaning, too, like having warm water for all its various uses.
Now mining coal, or cutting and often splitting and then stacking wood, does take a lot of human time, too.
