At least at the moment if the power goes out we are still able to get from one place to another.
In reality, in the future, he who controls power generation will have total control over the whole population and what they do, banking, their movement etc.
Not hard to see how easy it would be to bring civilization to a grinding halt!!!

And, as all our power stations are owned by foreign companies, we've sold the national grid to the Chinese and the latest plan is to import electricity from Norway & France by under-sea cables, we will be entirely reliant on foreigners for power.
In the seventies they used to talk about petrol running out in 20 years. We are well past that. Electricity has lots of problems as an alternative and it might be that we are actually going to go back to a Victorian style of life where we don't have cheap personal transport available to everyone. Perhaps this 100 years will be looked back on as brief a blip in thousands of years of walking everywhere.
Think I might invest in a horse....
