[HoE] Life before the war

[regret <regret@innocent.com>]

I was just wondering after reading the post about nuclear reactors and stuff.

What was considered normal Tech in 2000 to 2081? The source books seem to describe some but I found it mostly pretty vague.

Judging from the equipment list,technology doesn't seem to have improved much. But military-wise, there seemed to be great leaps and bounds.Hover Tanks, Lasers,etc. Was this advanced tech restricted mainly for military use? In a world where warfare and conflict was constantly waged, it would be reasonable to assume that most advances was for military and civilian usage was mostly ignored, not researched or restricted. Are most cities powered by Ghost Rock Reactors, Nuclear Reactors, Fossil Fuel Reactors or Irridated Ghost Rock Reactors?(or are they purely for military use like City Busters?)

Or was adv. tech available to general public but were mostly fried by the Nuke's EMP?

Is there a source material which this is described?(I don'y own Wasted West yet).

BTW, I can't seem to find the price of petrol for vehicles, How much is
it?
