Hopefully this electrical crisis will bring power generation to the
forefront of people's minds. 

You know, I think my grandparents used to pump the water from the well
by hand. Here's a question for you. How many kW hours does it take to
pump a gallon of water a 100 feet? Assume the pump doesn't experience
any head loss. (ie - it's 100% effiecient, thus you only have to
expend energy to lift the water. )
