I would just like to point out that you don't have to be a lefty enviromentalist to worry about a technological apocalypse. My mother is an evangelical right-winger, and she enjoys reading books about how terrorists are going to zap our power systems and we'll all be left to fend for ourselves. This explains, she…

Agreed. The problem is, they seem to have gone to the trouble of elaborately planning for all the lights to go out and creating all these barren backdrops for the sole purpose of saying…."FAMILY IS IMPORTANT." So, they should have made a shlocky 90s family sitcom instead.
