Electricty flowing like water

That’s how it was described to me once.

When I asked an electrician I knew to explain to me why electricity didn’t fall out of the outlets if there wasn’t a plug to stop it, he gave me some story about how electrity flows like water. Well, now, according to this article on the BBC, electricity may flow from water. It’s not hydro-electric power plants, but it is electricity generated from the flow of water. Fascinating and new, so no one knows what the implications are yet. Perfect fodder for a near-future science-fiction story!
