1.Better Keep Your Distance ...
 Undoubtedly you’ve heard of the electric eel. What
you may not know is just how much of a shock it’s
capable of delivering. It's been reported these
“eels” (which are actually members of the catfish
family) can generate a voltage up to 600V
and discharge about 1A of current. They’re
also capable of shocking you from up to 6 feet
away. So that dip you were thinking of taking in
the Amazon? You might want to rethink that.

2. Iceland: Undisputed Champion of Renewable Power

 Iceland is the first and only country that

relies solely on renewable sources for
electricity. It generates 100% of its
electricity from hydroelectric and
geothermal sources. Norway isn’t far
behind. As of 2020, it got 97% of its
electricity from renewable sources. The
United States? Only 13%.
3. The World Might Not Be as Electrified as You Think ...

 Believe it or not, more than 1.2 billion people

worldwide still live without access to
electricity. That’s roughly equivalent to the
population of India, and about 17% of the
world’s population. The United Nations has set
a goal of bringing “clean and modern electricity
to all people” by 2030, but progress has been
slower than anticipated.
4.A typical
microwave
oven consumes
more electricity
powering its
digital clock
than it does
heating food.
5. A professor in Japan found
that lightning strikes can
double the size and amount
of mushrooms in the wild. He
decided to research this
based on how consistently
the myth of this
phenomenon was found
throughout the world. They
suspect the electricity
powers an enzyme that spurs
growth.
