How to Live Without Electricity - And Like It (ILL of the day)

Electricity is a pretty useful thing (unless you're on the wrong end of Doctor Destroyer's shock blasters ... even if you're nearly invulnerable like Captain ILL, 3000 volts still stings) but, like nuclear energy, some folks don't like it much. There's something about dangerous unseen forces that seems to make people nervous. Unfortunately, the universe would not exist without dangerous unseen forces so the best we can do is learn to live with them, and try not to worry about quantum black holes colliding with the earth and sucking us all into oblivion, or even the dangerous unseen forces behind the collapse of the global economy (Captain ILL finally watched the news last night). Even so, once the economy finishes collapsing it might be useful to be able to "obtain, pump and store potable water" and this book conveniently explains how to do so.
