Kick starting the World.

I have never understood this all encompassing need to have electricity at any cost, I lived off grid-no power of any kind mains or non mains- for 12 years and loved every minute of it and will do it again post SHTF.
human beings lived for thousands of years without electricity, its only in the last century that we had electricity in houses and now most people cannot possibly survive without it, or think they cant which amounts to the same thing.
