I could grow my own coffee and weed and i dont play new games so I would be happy if everyone died and it was just me alone holding down the planet from nuclear reactors going off

But you wouldn't....you'd be dead without the support system you are used to. You'd probably last 3 days at most.

Not only do i not need any support systems, i am actually happier and more productive without electricity and heat. Living by the power of the sun like my ancestors where when it gets dark and you gotta see with fire you better be prepared. Gotta make every move count, it takes all of your effort just to stay alive and you start to see the value in things people throw away.

Like an aluminum can, can be returned to a depot for money but when you don't use money and live off the land and people want to take your cans they are taking your metal, a vital resource, can be easily made into any shape and has a lot of uses. You start to see the value in things like clay pots and how humans survived before refridgeration and stoves.

The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?

The grid, smart or not, is wasteful. Power generation produces 32% of all greenhouse gases, more than any other economic sector. Most power in the US is generated by burning coal, immediately squandering 67% of its energy, then run through a steam turbine, losing another 50%, then sent across transmission lines, losing another 5%, then to charge a DC device like a cell phone another 20% is lost in conversion. This means for 100 watts of coal or oil burned my phone gets a mere 25. In this light a solar panel that is 18% efficient doesn’t seem that bad.

Instead of ever increasing our energy production, what if we focused instead on reducing our consumption? I expect power will be at a premium in our first space colonies, and DC only from solar cells. So, I embarked on an experiment to see if I could survive without the luxury of alternating current.
