If I was going to become a doomsday prepper, this is about the only thing that could do it. The article ends by talking about two years of power outages in the US. That would basically end society as we know it. No communication, no cars, no clean water, no shipments of food, it'd be chaos. And since it'd be world-wide, we couldn't even just hold on until the Europeans shipped us new parts for our factories.

Could half the world plausibly build a cell phone? If you wanted to buy a city-sized transformer today you'd be put on a list for delivery sometime in the next few years. Trying to replace a continent's worth is a non-starter.
