Not only do electrons only move at a few miles per hour.
The electricity the power company makes us pay for is actually
alternating current. And that means that the same electrons are being
pushed into our house wiring, and then pulled out of it, over and over
again. And yet we have to pay as if the electricity were
new. Disgusing!

They must be charging us for the pushing rather than for the electrons.
