    I understand; I’m saying, you’d need to take back an entire industry to produce photovoltaics, batteries for storage, the computer control systems; or the high-tensile composites needed to build wind turbines, the fine machining to produce electric motors and wiring, and the cranes and such to raise them. You’d need to clear swaths of land for either, although you might be able to set up in the great plains, but in any case, all of the current renewable tech is high tech supported by countless other industries. You’d be taking back a civilization, to make it all work. And then you’ll need agriculture to feed all those people, housing for them to live, clothing, and so on; and which native tribe are you going to steal land from to put all of this?

      That’s what they said. Whatever would make it work.

      It would also have the benefit of taking a large group of people of the society they grew up with brought back with them. Then they’d not be just one person or a few people from modern society around with them.

      Great idea, really.

      Alright is there another hypothetical you wanna take way too seriously or just mine? It simply said whatever I want and thats what I’d want. It didnt say small scale, or any other restrictions. And if you really want to know I’d jack Greer Arizona, which as far as I know, Molly Butler settled there first.
