AC electron "flow" misunderstanding #239

Closed lwilts closed 1 month ago

lwilts commented 3 months ago

The "Climate Commitments" page contains multiple references to "electrons flowing into your device [coming from a (non-)renewable source]" - this is fundamentally incorrect. In an AC electricity supply electrons don't flow, they oscillate (by micrometers). A better term might be "the energy received by the device originates from..." or similar.
