Electricity: Hey! What About That?

Country Available: Canada
A youngster takes viewers through an explanation of how electricity is generated, transmitted and distributed to the home. The program visits installations at each of these three stages to show what is involved in getting electricity to the end user.

The methods of generation (coal, gas, hydro, nuclear) are discussed, and we learn why power, which is measured in volts must be adjusted at the different stages.
