What is Electricity? 
Electricity is energy transported by 
the motion of electrons 
**We do not make electricity, we 
CONVERT other energy sources into 
electrical energy** 
Conversion is the name of the game

 Faraday Effect 
 Basic Concepts 
 Voltage  V  Potential to Move Charge (volts) 
 Current  I  Charge Movement (amperes or amps) 
 Resistance  R  V = IxR (R in =ohms)

Barriers to Change 
US energy infrastructure is large and deeply entrenched 
 400,000+ miles of gas and oil pipelines 
 160,000+ of high voltage transmission lines 
 176,000 gasoline stations 
 1000s of oil and gas wells drilled annually in the 
US and Canada
Barriers to Change 
 oil and gas are readily available as a world 
commodity at low cost -- equivalent to $ 4 to 5 / 
million Btu 
 US coal is even more abundant and cheaper  
approximately $1/million Btu 
 US electricity prices remain low relative to 
other commodities 
The average American family spends only 3 
to 4% of their income on energy!!
