> 0 - It’s also telling that such advocates never seem to actually say who should be stuck doing all the labor that machines like washing machines now do for us. Washing clothes and dishes by hand is hard labor, and someone is going to have to give up their career or free time to do it if we’re going to ban these machines. No extra credit if you figure out who will get stuck with the task… Yeah lol I always find this the funniest part of Low Tech Magazine. While they're always breathlessly moralizing, they rarely think through (or at least write about) the social ramifications of the changes they propose. They do have some interesting ideas though, such as the use of thermal cookers, and burning biomass in a rocket stove may not be the worst idea if you live in an area with a temperate climate and a dirty grid. Perhaps more practical though would be just incentivizing ordering at a restaurant, since a restaurant will be more energy efficient at preparing food than an individual will. |

Really? Most restaurants have a grill and deep fry vats hot 100% of the time even when nobody is there.
