And do you want to return to the days of mud streets filled with horse
manure, to outhouses, to no medical technology and rampant disease, to
(more) widespread ignorance, etc? The problem is that you can't selectively
turn back the clock--keep the good and discard what _you_ dislike. What you
might want to keep (say medical tech and sanitation) depends on those nasty
old power plants and chemical plants!

Subject: Re: electric power surplus
The Labor Day storms knocked out power here for almost one week and
people were in agony! I loved it. The evenings were so peaceful and
quiet. I'd love to go back to a time when there were way less people on
the planet, and they all knew how to survive despite what Mother Nature
threw at them.
