If it's just the grid that's gone, generators are available - hell I have a mobile one sat in my driveway.

That doesn't help you if you can't get the fuel for it. Most industrial facilities can't just run on generators. Data centers can in theory, but I somehow doubt those diesel delivery contracts would be fulfilled, and good luck calling around asking for alternatives when the phone networks go down.
