Greetings Infomaniacs,
It’s amazing how much we rely on electricity. Yesterday, the
power went out here at the library, and it was like nobody
knew what to do! Without electricity, the library instantly
became a dark and nonfunctional place. The director ended up
closing for the rest of the day, and luckily the power has
been restored this morning!
Enjoy!

186,000 miles per second!

A spark of static electricity can measure up to three
thousand (3,000) volts. A bolt of lightning can measure up
to three million (3,000,000) volts – and it lasts less than
one second.

Electricity always tries to find the easiest path to the
ground. It can be made from wind, water, the sun and even
animal manure.
