Auto makers seem to be doing all they can to come up with a car that will run on some form of electricity, presumably batteries. This will save gas. But how much will it cost to charge one of these cars in between trips? That information is not available.
Another survey reveals that all the DVRs, DVDs, etc. that we have in our homes are energy guzzlers, using electricity at far higher rates than ordinary household appliances. Who knew? Or suspected? We're too busy enjoying the entertainments they bring.
We worry about internet security, hackers, et al. What about power security? The horrible floods in the Midwest have wrecked personal havoc for thousands of people. But when the power grids go down not only do we all go dark but so does the internet and all the businesses that rely on it.
The way we take electricity for granted is shocking. Just thought I'd say.
