If we're a small society on an island, my model is S. M. Stirling's Dies the Fire series. He wrote about "what happens when the tech suddenly stops?" We will need to choose a level of tech that we can sustain. That is why folks like 420God and c2g will be invaluable. They are repositories of skills we will need to carve a living out off the elements. I'll teach the youngins about making gunpowder and sulfa.
We will need to think of storing water against weather. but as a power repository ... probably not. Much better energy density in oil fuel. Once the last light bulb goes fritzy, we will rediscover oil lamps etc.
For the people who are still alive, still alive ...
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science get's done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive..... still alive.......
Oil lamps! OIL LAMPS! Ok that's it there is an acceptable level of tech, oil lamps is not it. I'm bringing the Stanford Ph.D. EE first we are going wireless and Kinetic goes to upgrade training, but keep him away from the microwaves.
But for the time being the reason we are stealing a carrier is so we can plug into it's nuclear power plant. Oh and cause I can't get a nuclear sub. I'd like a nuclear sub with atomic.. oops wrong island. Ok yeah can someone PLEASE get me the Enterprise. I'm good with a companion battleship or two! DIRTSURFR surely HE can get me the enterprise.
I do so much and ask so little........
Thank you
