[steam for ever]

It5 is NOT and I repeat NOT cheaper over long distances.
Wonder why in other countries diesel is used on long distance still.
You have to pay the power company for a start and the wires require attention quite often.
I do not want to annoy you, but lines have been de electrified.
Hold on I have a book here.
Chapter 7 ....lets see....
Ah!
The book I have here is a GCSE electronics book for parents and the modern curriculum stated this sort of thing.

The thing is people 400 years ago did'nt think but knew that the earth was flat.

In the long term it doesn't work.
Are you an electric enthusiast by any chance?

Times do change.
Compared to everyting else overhead power over a long distance is still a fairly new concept.
Don't get too confident.
I have to say I doubt you have actuall seen the bills.
