The path from wind powered generators to an Intel 4004 is long, especially without plastics, which we would never develop and for which all alternatives are still, with today's technology, very limited Realistically we probably wouldn't even need cpus and would have much more important things to work on, good luck smelting iron with biogas... Nuclear power plants need constant maintenance, France had to shut down a good parts of their reactors during covid because they couldn't work on them due to covid restrictions, and that's very far from an apocalypse, let the rot 100 years and they'll be unusable Doing what we did without virtually unlimited free energy is like sending a kid to climb the everest, naked, before you taught him how to walk. Petrol is the backbone of everything, medicine, agriculture, metallurgy, &c. We haven't found alternatives for a lot of use cases and that's with out current tech, a reboot would be game over
