Why the Amish Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank
Powering Down for Good
Imagine ditching your electric bill for good—sounds tempting, right? The Amish, famously “off-grid,” actually make it work without a single kilowatt. Instead of flicking a light switch, they rely on kerosene lamps for a warm glow, wood stoves for heat, and even gas-powered refrigerators to keep things cool.
For travel, it’s all horse and buggy, saving on gas and avoiding the high-tech hassles. Yet, some Amish communities make exceptions for emergencies, using generators or limited electricity at hospitals or during specific situations. This commitment to low-energy living has a point: cutting back not only trims costs but encourages creative ways to manage without endless plugs, screens, and chargers.
