If America went dark I think parts of it would be OK. ERCOT and hurricanes have forced quite a bit of resilience throughout my region.

If the weather is mild, most of these people could go two solid months before refueling.

I assume that region also has a lot of people without buried propane and generators, but who do have lots and lots and lots of guns.

I routinely tell my wife I'm ready to assume the rank of neighborhood warlord if things go tribal.
I think a lot of survivalist planning seems to forget that few of us live somewhere so far out that we don't need to account for our neighbors actions.
