There are times where I underestimate the amount of impact electricity has on my life. At this very moment I am using my laptop which is plugged into the outline, in the kitchen with the lights on, across from me are my sisters who are watching television, and to my left down the hall is my brother who is listening to music on the computer. Imagine a world without electricity. Life would be so different and it would affect everyone’s life. Last summer when there was a power outage in town, Walgreens was chaotic as they had to use a calculator to come up with a customer’s total. Stores closed due to the lack of electricity, and my family stored up the house with can foods and several jugs of water.
It is estimated that a household uses up 1,500,000,000 watts of electricity in just one day! About
