How Long Would Society Last During a Total Grid Collapse?

In these impacts of electrical blackout posts, Practical Engineering has several power grid outage videos. Power will be a premium commodity in the near future. Plan accordingly.
Electricity is not just a luxury. It is a necessity of modern life. Even ignoring our own direct use of it, almost everything we depend on in our daily lives, and indeed the orderly conduct of a civil society, is undergirded by a functioning electrical grid. Of course, life as we know it doesn’t break down as soon as the lights go out. Having gone without power for three days myself during the Texas winter storm, I have seen first hand how kind and generous neighbors can be in the face of a difficult situation. But it was a difficult situation, and a lot of people didn’t come through on the other side of those three days quite as unscathed as I did.

An interesting article on the grid damage. I do not believe it was because of the drag queen show.
