We just had a power failure here at the office in Toronto...and so naturally I got to thinkin about infertility. Pardon?

Yes the power went out for 10 minutes but the backup battery packs kicked in as they should so we didnt miss a beat. So it struck me that batteries are good....if they stay charged!

Rousseau apparently has batteries to spare, except she has no source to keep them charged! The magnetic properties of the island must keep them charged somehow.

Now, magnetic radiation is good for batteries but bad on your reprodution 'skills'...so perhaps the Islanders are infertile, which might explain their preoccupation with children.
