- People will smell more. Hot water will be much more of a luxury
- Meat, especially beef, will be too expensive for most citizens
- Fresh, safe drinking water will be difficult to come by in many locations
- Septic tanks and outhouses will make a big return. People who can install and maintain them should have little trouble finding work
- Local "low tech" security services: sheriffs who live in town and part-time deputies.
- Horses. They'll be back as common transportation, especially in more rural areas.
- Golf carts. Huh? As a means of cheap local transport, their price will be hard to beat, at least in places where there's enough electricity to power them.
- Firewood makes a big comeback... in regions that can learn to treat it as a renewable resource
- Gardens, gardens, gardens: everywhere there's decent soil and rainfall and somewhat reliable climate. Look for small scale seed firms to pop up.
- In urban areas where electricity supply is sketchy, look for ice boxes to come back... Assuming people can figure out how to build and maintain ice houses.
- Radio makes a comeback: Far less power than TV.
