If this happens, people will sit around the campfire reminiscing about the good old days.

“I miss showers the most. Fresh water, just coming down in buckets, as long as you wanted! Shampoo! More fresh water!”

“I miss air conditioning the most.”

“I miss my refrigerator. Just FULL of great food, whatever you want, just stick it in the microwave!”

You are so right but with a little planning and preparation you can actually have everything except AC. Thats what I will miss the most. Even a homemade 12 volt solar system will run the lights and well pump and give you hot water. We are setting up an alternative electrical system that will run everything except AC. Plus a solar oven for sunny day cooking. We are installing 2 woodstoves for heat in the winter. Our plan is to be able to live in a similar but scaled down fashion to our normal life. After much reflection we decided that you have to be born to washing clothes in a boiling pot in the front yard and all the other crummy parts of living in pre electrical times.
