As I drove past a field where several horses were eating from a pile of hay forked onto the snowy ground for their feeding, I naturally thought about electric heaters. An electric heater is considered 100% efficient at converting electrical energy into heat. That’s an impressive track record.
Horses, on the other hand, are an
entirely different matter when it comes to energy use. My buddy put it this
way: “I have a motor-sickle”—that’s what he called a motorcycle—“instead of a
horse. The big problem with a horse is that you have to keep feeding it to keep
it idling when you’re not using it.”
