Quote:Generation and transmission losses mean only about 33% of the energy in the gas appears as electricity by the time it reaches the end user.
How do you come to that figure?
But yup there are big losses involved in our current model of big power stations combined with the national grid. However local generation is another matter. But then again, the big energy companies that rule the roost today don't won't us to adapt more efficent local generation.
