Excellent way to approach the issue, Bob.
Power. That is the objective. Power to lift, roll, and move what a human is too weak to do without injury. That is a basic objective for us in planting oil palm to produce biodiesel.
I abhor machines, actually.
However, my tractor with front-end loader can make compost in quality and quantity, not to mention quicker without worker injury, many times greater than I can even with help. That compost makes the sweetest tasting bananas! Those bananas provide our bodies Power.
...to be discerned from the illusion of Power in the empty space between the ears of the rip-roaring fools passing at 65MPH in the shoulder lane driving SUV's and never-done-an-honest-day's-work fake-trucks with oversize tires.
