A key to providing adequate nutrition and health care in any community is electrical energy; for the refrigeration of food and medicine and the pumping and filtering of water and the resultant waste water and sewage. Energy enables irrigation of crops and the processing, packaging and transport of bulk food.

When a society reaches a threshhold of 2,000 kilowatt hours per person per year, infant mortality falls below 50 per year (the United Nations determination between "hungry" and "non-hungry" nations). Also at this threshold, safe drinking water becomes available to 80% of the affected population.
