it can't happen here
everybody knows, it can't happen here.

Are you surrounded by crazy people? let's hope not.
One Big Smacking Solar Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun and "modern civilization" is Toast. The electric grid is civil society in this paradigm.
Alternative energy is not a viable alternative for many people right now.
Because of the inevitability of a large solar superstorm, we have to accept the fact that the current electric power grid upon which our lives depend is only a temporary infrastructure. This temporary infrastructure has served us very well, and we now have entrusted our very lives to it. The electric power grid began as a convenience, but has become a necessity for sustaining life through a process that has happened so slowly that most of us have not noticed this transformation.
Don't forget about water. Few people keep an emergency supply of water, in spite of the fact that it is inexpensive and easy to do. Almost every country of the world has a period of days every year where many people in some large area are without drinkable water. In most countries, much of the water is pumped by electric motors. After a major EMP attack or a solar superstorm, electricity for most of those pumps is going to be unavailable for a very long period of time.
