Spock has a mustache and sideburns. This wonderfully bad fan film was made by Ray (who I gather is an expert on Betamax recordings) in 1971 for a TV production class at Ohio State University. He used a 1-inch open reel video tape and earned an A- for the project.
My vote goes to losing the mustache but keeping the sideburns. Sideburns are rarely a bad fashion choice.

Hardware Wars was nearly ten years later, after the early days of rebel filmmaking had begun. The opportunities and technology was already becoming more readily available as compared to 1971.
Yes, it was crude, badly acted and the audio was off, but I defy anyone to use whatever equipment they had to use and put something together with much more success.
I wonder where those guys are now?
besides, the infrastructure to deliver power to individual homes is a long way coming, even if the dam is built. look how long it took for rural homes in america to get on the grid
What's the point of building the plant (even assuming it gets sufficient military protection), when the transmission lines are certain to be sabotaged or stolen?
Brilliant!!!
The damn would destroy a huge amount of land from flooding for the reservoir. This would remove animal habitat and farming land. There is also the terrible disruption to the river dams cause.
I agree with fsmarch lets focus on food not electricity production.
Oh and anyone have problems logging in today? Lots of PHP errors for me.
I believe they are hoping to get an economy started and join the rest of the world. You don't build transmission lines first and then build power plants.
It also seems like exporting power would provide needed cash.
I don't know all the details obviously, but it seems to me this has a good chance of being a win-win. Unless you just want them to remain a fifth world country with no hope.
