Video: Video: Practical Engineering - How long would society last during a total grid collapse?

A summary of how other systems of infrastructure (like roadways, water, sewer, and telecommunications) depend on electricity and how long each system could last under total blackout conditions. This video was guest produced by my editor, Wesley, who is also the actor in the blackout scenes ;) Practical Engineering is a YouTube channel about infrastructure and the human-made world around us.
