More On Power
Posted by on Monday, November 29, 2004 in - 8 comments
This whole power generation and consumption world has fascinated me for the last week or so. While I’m not too strong in the maths and don’t understand the intricate workings of the electrical system I think I may be onto something. • Our local power company, Maritime Electric, is proposing to …
