so they will burn coal and put electricity on a power grid to which batteries will be connected and charged, and then these batteries will be connected back to the power grid?
announcement: "when you hear the siren, drive to the nearest plugging station and plug in your car so that others can continue with their work."
Here is a story I heard some 50 years ago, when I was an undergraduate student in erstwhile Madras. A student in another college had rigged up his hostel room with a number of electrical appliances run from lead-acid batteries. He was charging the batteries from the mains when the hostel warden (a Reverend Father!) entered, and asked "What are you doing, son?" Student answered, "Father, I am putting some electricity into the mains." Warden: "Very good boy. I wish all other boys were like you!."
from http://www.messybeast.com/urbancat2.htm#ranch "Glorious Opportunity To Get Rich!!! We are starting a cat ranch in Lacon with 100,000 cats. Each cat will average 12 kittens a year. The cat skins will sell for 30 cents each. One hundred men can skin 5,000 cats a day. We figure a daily net profit of over $10,000. Now what shall we feed the cats? We will start a rat farm next door with 1,000,000 rats. The rats breed 12 times faster than the cats. So we will have four rats to feed each day to each cat. Now what shall we feed the rats? We will feed the rats the carcasses of the cats after they have been skinned. Now Get This! We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats and get the cat skins for nothing! "
