Edit: We survived an ice age and we're very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

My biggest issue used to be that in the global industrial base collapses, we won't have surface coal/oil available to restart it. I've been informed that we might be able to restart just from turpentine. (Wind and solar both need advanced manufacturing techniques so can't be bootstrap electrical sources.)

That said, I don't think I'm very interested in hanging around after the global Internet collapses. My interests are too niche to be satisfied within a regional power grid.
