Why don't you power your homes with fruity batteries?

Answer 1

-- The electrical devices that we've become accustomed to using in our homes

need much more power than any reasonable amount of fruit can deliver.

-- The electrical devices that we've become accustomed to using in our homes

operate on AC, whereas fruit delivers DC.

-- When you take into account the energy and other resources required to plant,

grow, harvest, distribute, install, operate, and maintain fruit, it isn't that much of a

bargain compared to the current methods of mass producing electrical energy.

-- The whole notion of turning food into fuel for cars, TVs and washing machines is demented.
