Reply #68: That's one of the most egregiously stupid statements I've read here. [View All]

"We" lived just fine without it for many thousands of years. How many of "us" lived just fine without it for thousands of years? I'll give you a clue - less than a billion at any one time lived without it for thousands of years. For most of those thousands of years there were mere hundreds of millions living without it. There are now 6.6 billion of us.

The electricity requirements for food refrigeration alone guarantee that electricity is more than a "convenience" to most of those 6.6 billion people.
