Well Bob, in this country we consume roughly 100 quadrillion BTUs worth of energy a year.

120 years ago virtually all of the energy this country used came from burning wood.

I can see the folks back then wondering "why in hell would you want to string up power lines"? LOL Especially since wood was working just fine, thank you!
