Read 'Better Off' - it's an interesting look at someone who lived that way (in an Amish-type community) for eighteen months. I enjoyed it.

Been there, done that and actually used a Brethren in Christ community as a model for a lifeboat community, sans the religion. Two books I'd recommend for lightly exploring the topic: Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology and Living Without Electricity. Though, I've come round to the view that small, localized electricity production is often so attainable that there's no reason not to go that route, whether it be through micro-hydro electric, solar, wind or some combination.
