Just wonder what bad sides of electrical engineering they had found, then.
I totally get conservativeness of not jumping right onto the hype wagon for the latest tech fad of the year or even decade, but I find it strange they oppose more than a century old scientific concept that hadn't shown any negative effects (some particular implementation did, but as I get it they're generally opposed to the applied use of the very phenomena, not case-by-case implementations like avoiding those fossil-burning stations).

- baddox 12y agoTo summarize tptacek's link, the Amish generally refrain from using the public power grid, but they use electricity from their own generators or even solar panels. The idea isn't to ban things that are modern or things that save time, but rather things that make members more influenced by the world and less dependent on their own community.
