I'd like to discuss the thoughts about what the impact will be when the grid goes down. It will be more than being without electricity in our homes when it happens.
There will be a big dramatic response from many people within a little time.
The ability to get items will be almost nil. Grocery stores won't have lights. Their coolers and freezers won't work. Their registers won't work.
Gas stations won't be able to pump gas. There probably won't be any ability to manufacture and transport any kind of fuel. We'll all be stuck with little ability to drive in a short period of time.
Phone towers won't work, so no cell service.
Hospitals will struggle to provide medical treatment to some patients who need oxygen and other life saving treatments.
I think of this kind of like the children's book, When you Give a Mouse a Cookie.
What else will be impacted?
