. How would the Amish people survive? They aren't going to change their religious beliefs easily. They use battery powered equipment but use generators with gas/diesel engines to replenish those batteries. The Amish are one of the fastest growing populations in America so eventually it will happen but not in the next 15 years.
I don’t know much about the US population dynamics but a quick google shows about 300,000 Amish live in the US. Can they really influence technology adaptation that much? No idea. First I heard of this. Do they have some kind of mass influence on other US populations?
