REBUILDING WORLD

[bigpaul]

some form of "heath robinson" or good old bodging MAY be possible to begin with, again depending on "resources" available and level of knowledge (there may be lots of electrocutions if people don't know what their doing) but what about after? as John is always telling me, what about the generations that come behind? will they have the skills and knowledge?

i'm sorry, but I don't understand the fixation with having power, I suppose its become so much a part of everyones lives that no one can imagine a time without it, but electricity in houses in the UK is a very modern invention and was only installed in the 1930s and some didn't have it until the 60s, for many thousands of years if not millions human beings have lived without it. yet when you see reports of power CUTS on the tv people are going mad without it, one guy even said "its like living in the middle ages" and the power had only been off for 24 hours !power is nice to have I suppose but its not the be all and end all, well it isn't to me, it is possible to live without it, but I think it takes a different sort of person to accomplish it, probably not something that everyone can do or wants to, and there is the rub.
