Number nine, privacy, is particularly troubling to me.

Number two, blackouts, is also a problem. It is well known that our power infrastructure is ripe for hackers and terrorists.

Well known, but never happens.

I have enough incandescent light bulbs to last me until the end of World War VII.

Thanks for the humor, but a gentle correction if I may: We don’t need CO2 to live but plants do. We will die from starvation.

NO, they are not more resilient when you add the complexity of variable renewable power.

If privacy is disappearing, you get a world where people can be segregated based on ideology ... Divergent or 1984 or Brave New World, depending on tolerances and methods of control.

Much speculation. The only one worth while is the privacy one, that I believe.

All the incandescent light bulbs I want are sold 9 miles away.
