Top five interesting facts about electricity
1- 10% of US electricity is made from dismantled Soviet atomic bombs.
2- All the batteries on Earth store just ten minutes of the world’s electricity needs.
3- A typical microwave oven uses more electricity keeping its digital clock on standby than it does heating food.
4- A single zinc mine in Namibia uses a fifth of the country’s electricity supply.
5- 40% of the electricity in Pakistan goes missing, half of it stolen: if there’s a power cut (which is often), they just steal the wires.
