http://www.energybulletin.net/648.html\nThis url links to a news article about Gardner, Massachussetts, a small city that has been running on solar for 20 years. As an experiment, it had a mixed success record of being reliable and economical. I can't copy the article here, because it is copyrighted.

I expect many of us on YA were alive before the techie time.  I grew up in a house and community that had no electricity.  I walked to school as did all of us, no matter how far - we didn't have school buses.  We had chores to do as part of our responsibiity to the family, and they took care of before school and after school time.  We read a lot and listened to radios powered by huge batteries.  When we did have free time as kids we played outdoors and made our own games.  There was very little "ready to eat" food available so meals were cooked from basics, we made our own bread, etc.  There was lots to do - no such thing as being bored.

Oh my God!! I loved that show! I was so sad when it got cancelled. I loved Christian Kane and Victor Browne. Very good-looking firemen. That show was really good! It could've been great if it was given a chance. I miss it now that you reminded me of it. Thanks!

Yes I remember.  It had little flying sauser mahcines and they had babies.  One was born without power.  The dude said "Batteries not included" but he fixed it and they ended up saving the old people from the bad guys.\n\nHere it is for sale at Amazon.com\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0783232047/104-6611225-3033562?v=glance&n=130

I am not sure, if they have the DVDs of this program, but it was originally a BBC program, and is now being shown on BBCAmerica. If you go to their web site, they may have it for sale. Worth a try anyway.
