This is quite a bit of a tangent but I just wanted to point out that the Amish (specifically, the Old Order Amish; the Beechie Amish will drive cars) have no problem with electricity per se. They do have a problem with relying on an outside source for something. This is why you'll see some Amish have windmills that power electric generators. However, rubber tires are right out.

I bring this up as I have some Amish heritage (my grandfather was born Amish).
