If Electricity Goes Down - What do You Do?

Electricity could go down for various reasons. Sabotage by terrorists, violent climate change (too much solar activity might cut out electric currents) or simply disuse.

The latter, gradual, getting out of a dependance that might be bad in more catastrophic situations, is of course my preference, but I don't think it is all that likely, right now.

Now, the question is, what would you do?

Well, the Middle Ages are a very well documented example of what one can do without electricity.

I am not sure I could do each and all that Townsend or Jason Kingsley show, but some of my readers could do some of it, in a pinch. And it's enjoyable watching.
