      It’s a utility and so I agree it’s a necessity. A luxury would be some of the things electricity allows like Internet.

        The Internet access should be classified as a utility but good luck getting ISPs to stop lobbying against that

          Yeah in the modern age internet access should be considered a necessity. There are a lot of things you can’t do without the internet (like get a job or pay bills).

      Not necessarily, you could absolutely survive without electricity, I live in a predominantly Amish area that proves that.
      It just wouldn’t be any fun.

        It does take a bit of preparation for the lifestyle that we are not ready for. Ways to store and prepare food, maintain temperatures, get information, illuminate spaces.
