I think Pete's suggestion of becoming as self-sufficient as possible is the only way.
But how to convince the other 99% out there, without sounding like this fellow in the film 'Collapse'. The other 99% out there will be in a state of denial. There has always been a tendency to shoot the messenger.
All ready the street lights in the UK are starting to be turned off.
