Do you think this would lead to arguments as to who would be deserving of receiving the (probably) rather limited supply of electricity? Not to mention who would be volunteering to run the wretched places? Dig the coal? I cannot imagine being able to cherry pick what would be available or not. Would you want to start again with things just as they were before?
In a perfect world No,.. I agree, I would rather not bother turning it back on,.. but you can bet that someone will try, and if they succeed would you rather they lived in comfort with power while you lived by firelight?
Then of course it depends on how good a prepper you were in that `other life`, because if you didnt prep well, you may need that power to survive,..then their are the older preppers amongst us, how long would we survive without power
The answer to the last question is as long as needed providing you plan well now, but as settlements started to grow up around you with their lights blazing,... would most people want to remain in the shaddows?,.. would you?,...I think I would be happy enough, but most people wouldn't be
Then of course, humans being humans, a badly distribution of power could also lead to armed conflicts, there is no greater resentment than between the `haves` and the `have nots`
