It's just a matter of where the electricity is coming from. in this case it's coming from a diesel engine driven generator. electricity is not what everybody is bitching about, its what makes the electricity that needs to be perfected. you can't perfect something that does not exist yet. you must work with what you have until a new way is found. these people seem to think they can just mandate a new technology into existence.
