Electricity enables a good deal of solutions to help food preservations and more optimal farming. It also enables cell phones, which are becoming one of the primary infrastructure elements in third world companies.
I am not sure if what's-her-face's idea is more than a nifty widget. But I assure you that at least its goal is doing more than making a few people feel happy-floaty about giving money.
- pointyhat 15y agoYou don't need electricity to preserve food. You can preserve without it. I've done it for years. If you need a fridge, you don't need electricity: http://lionheart.net/fridge/ http://lionheart.net/fridge/ 50 years ago we had larders full of preserves. They don't need the infrastructure, commerce and cell phones. They need food, sanitation and a life which doesn't rely on working for another person day in day out. Introducing capitalism to such people is like introducing a cocaine habit so they are easily controlled.
