Forget the manufacturing price, because if electric-powered supplies were used in the early modern times, then it would set the standards of the supplies' price,thus available to the public in an affordable price.If only people didn't make use of the fossil fuels, the world would be a much better place, since CO2 emissions would be less. But back to the question, is the fact that electricity can be used to power carbon-emitting machines of today?There's also solar energy, so I'm really lost here.
where does the electricity come from? What powers the turbines that spin the generators?
It started out being much simpler and cheaper to use natural gas to power machinery, only now, when it is getting very rare, has it turned into such a cost. If you notice, people are trying to convert things into solar powered, milk powered, electrical powered, and corn powered to save Earth. But it is a very slow process, especially to break a 100 year habit. And when you think of all those machines, and factories, and everything that needs power all over the world, it'll take a very long time to convert.
Simple and true answer, the greedy get greedier. No money in providing us with free electricity, even if its best for the environment. Today technology can provide solar, wind and magnetic power systems that can operate on renewable energy, that would save us money, and is safe for our environment. But No money to be made in providing us free electricity. So the greed would rather pollute our environment because there big money for the greedy. Some day more people will start converting there system to renewable energy and the more and more we start doing this, the more the idea will catch on. Some day there will be no utility company and that would mean more money for us to spend.
