Forget Shorter Showers (2009)

When an article says, in a casual matter of fact way:

   we’d lose some of the luxuries (like electricity)
   to which we’ve grown accustomed

then it has lost 99% of its potential audience. Without electricity we couldn't be much more than stone age hunter gatherers. To which my response is: NO FUCKING WAY!!!

While I certainly would not cheer on a return to a pre-electric era, electricity has only been available for 125 years or so. We have done and could do very much better than hunting and gathering in the complete absence of electricity.
