I've mentioned this before but I've abstained from reading much climate science and news in the last year now and it has helped me mentally. I've been so depressed about this shit for so long, but there is just nothing I can do really.. Global unfettered capitalism is the root cause of so much fucked up, so I just focus on pushing others I'm around to better understanding how climate and capitalism are intertwined and if you truly want a better planet we need to end capitalism. It has helped but I also live in a place deeply effected by this shit so it's impossible to ignore it.
It sucks to care so much about something like this but having to force yourself to be less and less informed about it. It really did mentally fuck me up for so long, but limiting my intake of it all was the solution to helping me feel generally happier. Shits fucked up
My guess is that there's going to be a lot of local, smaller-scale, more distributed generation on the neighbourhood level based on smaller and easier to construct generators like stirling engines or turbines or something weird as hell, and some people with know-how are going to continue to run larger scale power plants at reduced capacity. Shoring up of old infrastructure can happen, and will likely result in a lot of communities building up around old infrastructure that wasn't as dilapidated. Power plant towns and the like.

I can't imagine electricity going away. It's way too easy to make a turbine to generate power from wind or the flow of water.
