- | Whilst this may be decades into the future, preparation for this eventuality are prudent. There are limitations to what sources of energy can realistically be sourced locally, and they are outlined below in this article. This website will focus only on the possibilities as currently perceived. | + | Catastrophic failure |

+ | The use of all the sources, except firewood, need not be explained. Solar PV does rely on the industrial economy for production but it is the view of this author, that in the present context its use should not be excluded from consideration. Wind and sunlight have been used for thousands of years, to dry clothes, food or to pump water such as through the use of a wind-mill. | ||
