I don't think a mostly for-comfort utility should be the last to shut down. There is a lot of significantly more important shit, like hospitals, water treatment plants and pumping stations, coolers and freezers which are storing food, public transit, etc.
After all, our species has survived without AC for hundreds of thousands of years, but surviving without running water or safe food is much more difficult.
Even some datacenters can be more important, e.g. those predicting the weather or handling communications.
And if AC is necessary for survival in a place, then maybe we shouldn't fuckin' settle there (or at least shouldn't cover the entire place with asphalt and concrete). What happens during a real blackout? Does everyone just die?
Other things our species survived without for hundreds of thousands of years include water purification, cancer treatment, obstetrics, antibiotics, sterile medical instruments, and agriculture.
Sorry if it's unrelated, I understand the meme but what's the background of it?
