It was invented by Benjamin Franklin.

They scoop electrons out of reservoirs in buckets and pour them into the wires.

Only the ignorant and the tyrannical want the new green deal.

Electricity is intrinsic to the universe:

“The permittivity of free space (a vacuum) is a physical constant equal to approximately 8.85 x 10-12 farad per meter (F/m).”

The sun.

Coal.

Even with Trump, coal is dying of natural causes. Fracked natgas is cheaper, and solar and wind are pecking at the edges of the market.

You left off the correct answer: Burning coal or fossil fuel.

I thought that was how electronics worked. Thanks for educating me that the same is true of electrics.

Al Gore invented it to run his internet.

Duh! Everybody knows that.

About 2/3 of the electricity generated is from fossil fuel (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), with about 1/3 from coal.
1/3 of electricity comes from burning coal.... ?
Progs hate coal.

But they love their Tesla.

Yep. I told one ridiculous Tesla owner that unless the cord he uses to charge his Tesla is plugged into a windmill or solar array, which it isn't because it doesn't take him multiple days to charge up, or into a Unicorn's ass, his car is neither emissions free nor clean. I kid you not, he couldn't grasp the assertion I was making. More proof that Tesla owners aren't that smart.

The Electric Company.

I pay my bill, they send me electricity.

If I don’t pay my bill, they don’t send me electricity.

It’s really that simple.

Duh!

from bigdeal above ^^^^

I been there and done that ^^^^
Amazing how they seemingly have never thought of it.

Also, just my opinion: Investors in Tesla stock are even dumber than the owners of the cars.

NOFAIR!!!! You beat me to it by about ten seconds.

Well, when a proton and an electron really like each other.....

I have so wanted to have some bumper stickers made that read - COAL FIRED - and stick them on all the Tesla’s around here. But as a law abiding gun owner...

We don't have any coal or nuclear power plants in Oklahoma. All of ours burn natural gas.
