Entirely, all at once? No... Sporadically, in small areas (though larger than what we're used to), my opinion is probably yes.

I don't mean to be rude but that's a fairly naive question. Or are you just trolling? There are no guarantees in life. Do some research. Prepare for what you feel is likely.

Wish I knew the answer, my cyrstal ball is out of juice. Tried to buy an alternative energy source, darn, not available anymore. I think this is the mantra you will begin to hear. Along with "our computers are down", we will hear, "Darn, they don't make that part anymore" I personally, am not looking forward to this, (as much as I would prefer the opposite) I expect it. Darn near inevitable.
