This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Location: Southern Germany. Anomalous heat season broken, first night frost. Firewood even more expensive this year, now up to 160 EUR/m^3 . Natural gas and electricity will jump higher sooner than expected due to tax breaks ending, probably by end of the year. Economy is in recession, particularly any energy intensive industry. Lots of migrants, which are taxing municipalities' finances. Worst: absolutely no improvement in sight.
On the positive side, 400 Wp photovoltaics modules are down to 100 EUR, kWh scale storage batteries also much cheaper and inverters also somewhat. 80+% autarky for off-grid is no longer prohibitively expensive.
