Yep. Most of the loss is in converting fuels to electricity. When they start comparing BTUs and say our grid wasted its BS. Like burning coal to heat water to turn a turbine to make electricity to heat water to turn a turbine to see how much we got out. STUPID.
Like my nephew who was 22 at the time showing me magnets on a wheel causing it to spin with another magnet in his hand. Then asking me why we can’t create electricity for free doing that. He really thought he had created a solution to the world. I tried in vain to explain but gave up and just said yep. Public education is failed. It did turn out that he is crazy not ha ha crazy but pass the lithium crazy.
It’s dreamers like him that some day may make this possible. Think about it yourself. All other technologies have grown in leaps and bounds since discovered, why not magnetism. It has always baffled me.
Did he fall for Bernie’s b.s.?
When I read the BTU loss, yeah, no thanks, I’m good.
