Steam Powered Saw Mill

Back in the old days (the mid to late 19th century) steam was king. After that, internal combustion took over. In the interim, some vendors experimented with electricity. Even Henry Ford's wife had an electric car back in the 1920s, but inevitably, internal combustion won out and proved itself much more practical. One hundred years hence, a man in a white house (who is much, much wiser and considerably more mature than we are) decided that electricity is a much better way to power everything, no doubt remembering the electric vehicle from his very distant youth. This wise white house dwelling leader decided to banish the practice of using internal combustion power by bolstering the sales of electrical vehicles whose storage capacity comes from elements obtained from distant lands who's people have sloped foreheads. Wisely, this same domestic leader decided to end the production of fossil fuels, only after he and his cronies became fully vested in "clean" energy that comes from tricky devices with large impellers that must be sent to landfills after some use, then replaced with another set of impellers. While this may seem wasteful to the uninitiated, fear not, the government offers subsidies for using this technology. The populace who still stubbornly insist on the use of internal combustion or electricity generated from steam, hydroelectric or nuclear sources are relegated to purchasing fossil fuel products from third world sources including products from a distant land with a bear for a mascot.
