Dave Barry once wrote a very funny column on electricity, in which he
implied that we don't buy electricity, we just rent electrons, because they
all flow back to the power company eventually. He maintained that no new
electricity had actually been generated since some time in 1937, or
thereabouts. See http://www.totse.com/en/ego/no_laughing_matter/daveb.html
for the article.
