You probably can't be perfectly green to make these things. You need steel, plastic, etc to build it, you need diesel-powered land equipment like tractors to dig, plant, etc. But then again that is short-term.



What is stray electricity? I never heard that term before.



Ontario pays more for electricity than any other location in North America. That's so crazy. I hope someone finds a way to reduce the cost.
its stray voltage actually. check out this video if you like. gives a quick summary of what it is and whats going on with it.
