Can you imagine life without electricity?

Electricity is a modern invention that helps a lot of people. It is not something we mine, rather we make it. Public use of electricity was only figured out about 120 years ago. Even in the USA we had rural electrification efforts about 80 years ago, for example.

Now electricity has changed the world, for the better most would say. It helps run irrigation pumps to feed people, for example. Also, just to turn the switch to turn on artificial light to go to the bathroom at night sure seems to help. And nothing counts like counting on our refrigerators and freezers to keep the food presentable. Before then, for example, communities often shared meat before it went bad. Of course, there also takes some electricity to even keep our cars and other such widgets running, to include our telephones. After all, gasoline still takes electric powered pumps to get it in our cars.

I cannot imagine life without electricity. Just how we get from A to B is what I wonder about. Mostly I think it will take time, which so many politicians in the USA seem to lack. And by time I think of the ways to make public use electricity.

So the goal may be good…but the method may be stupid. How about giving things time for humans to figure things out? How about we birth less babies, for example.
