Please check out the following sentences.


(1) Have you ever thought what we can would do without electricity?
This sentence doesn't make sense with 'can' or 'could' unless you're talking about a specific situation. Most people know a bit of history, and so they know how people can or could function without electricity.

(2) If that happened, what would the world be like ?
In a conditional sentence, you need the past tense form.

(3) It will lead to a serious consequences.
'Consequences' is usually plural in a concept like this. Also, it might be better as "It will have serious consequences", since 'consequences' are, by definition, led to. "Leading to a consequence" is strictly a tautology.
Also, avoid, "It will cause terrible consequences" for the same reason.

(4) It will lead to a terrible result.
This is good if you have a specific result in mind, otherwise it would be better as "It will lead to terrible results", or "It will cause terrible results" or "It will have terrible results."
