Is it really possible for electricity to be switched off? If we significantly upset the environment and
all the natural protection it provides the planet, is it possible that
electricity could disappear? If that
were a possibility, and we can develop scenarios of how catastrophic it would
be, would that make us take more care of the environment? On the other hand, is
it possible that God could switch off electricity as He is recorded to have
switched of other human comforts in biblical times, as a result of gross sin on
the part of humanity? Again, if it were
possible, would it necessarily make the world change its ways?
If electricity could be switched off, what else could be switched
off? Electricity is just one of many currencies enables exchange, transmission
and storage of energy. If this form of
energy can be switched off, what other forms can be switched off? If those other forms can be switched off,
what kind of scenarios would emerge?
Our understanding of electricity is possibly less than two hundred
years old. It has contributed in the
vast social and economic development of humanity in this period, and is the
foundation on modern technology. Before its enormous power and potential was
discovered, the world moved on running its business as usual. What other similar life changing technologies
are out there waiting to be discovered?
If electricity were to be switched off, what alternatives would be discovered
to make the same, if not better contribution to humanity? Can these alternatives be still discovered
without waiting for electricity to be switched off?
