Electricity travels extremely fast at over 186,000 miles per second. A static spark can measure up to 3,000 volts of power while a large natural gas plant from 1882 can power over 220,000 homes. The first power sources in the US included windmills in 1854 and the earliest geothermal station was built in Italy in 1911.
