This will be my last year as a clan leader, if I even make it to the end of the year.
They must have switched to ELO. 😛

It TAKES electricity to keep your wigwam if you are cold.
If you think of it electrical heating is a real waste:
1. you convert chemical energy into thermal energy
2. you convert thermal energy into kinetic energy by Evaporation.
3. you convert kinetic energy into electrical energy
4. you tranform electrical energy to high voltage for Transportation
5. you transform electrical energy to low voltage for use
6. you convert electrical energy into thermal energy.
Each step comes with a loss. Five additional steps come with high loss. The French feel that now that nuclear electricity is not so cheap anymore...
