Who cares how fancy things are, in my province we generate 90% of our electricity from the sun. We have been doing so for 60 years, we were just smart enough to let the sun boil the ocean for us and harness the power of kinetic energy, rather than try to build fancy schmancy electronics. See the snow on the mountains? That's what we like to call a 'solar battery'. Often smart people making fancy things look down on those with working systems because the solution to the problem was so obvious that they couldn't make themselves look smart by doing something that actually works. Like really how hard is it to build a concrete structure that contains water, and allow that water to fall over a wheel... Who cares how inefficient or old it may be when it's so easy and cheap. It's like the guy who walks into a java shop armed with a few UNIX command line utils and bash and they all look down on him and call his system hacky when it works in a week and they're still figuring out their object model.
