I'm sure you appreciate the gravity of the West Coast power grid going down all at once, but let's still put aside a moment to contemplate what could have very well been in 1996.
People use electricity for every aspect of their lives. Destroyed power grid means no electricity. No telephones, no lights, no communication, no traffic lights, no anything that has wires in it.
Cars will crash, and so will lorries and trains. Multiple supply chains will go down at once and people will be left scavenging for food. But no banks will work either, so money will be useless. There will be cops, but they'll be powerless to do anything when they aren't able to talk to each other. Hundreds of thousands will die in hospitals alone when their critical equipment goes down. Humanity would create the single greatest Broadway adaptation of Mad Max.
In short, America would end.
Cheery, I know.
