abstract:Electric Dreams is a BBC television documentary series, co-produced with The Open University, that places a family of two parents and four children in their home with only the amenities available during each of the previous three decades (1970s, 1980s and 1990s), and recording their responses to the changing pace of technological change. The intent of the series was to be "much more than a technology show … it is contemporary social history and asks big moral questions about life in the modern world".
Energy expert and occasional FORBES columnist Peter Huber has noted, "Pooling supply and demand nationwide will cut the average cost of generating electricity by 30% to 50%, " thereby making feasible green dreams of more electric vehicles.
