There's something very satisfying about lighting candles and the fire in an energy-less (but otherwise) comfortable house.
And candles have come a long way since they were romantic but spluttery and messy and smokey.
I could supply you with a gel candle that would burn for ten days, fill your house with the scent of a hundred wild flowers and would never need attention or start smoking as it has a self-trimming wick.
A few of those, and a clockwork radio, and the collapse might be quite tolerable.
