Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. This is episode number 87, and 87 is an odd number, which can only mean one thing.

Mailbag! Mailbag! Mail bag. Mail bag.

Dear Olivia and Jacob, could you please get curious about electricity?

We would like to know where it comes from, how it works, and who invented it?

Thank you, Theo, age 7, of Moors Town, New Jersey.

That's a great suggestion. You're getting curious about electricity this week.

We are, and it's going to be so much fun. Theo isn't the first listener to make the suggestion.

Back in May of last year, Zoe and Case of Somerdale, Alabama, also asked if we would get curious about electricity. You can hear their email in episode 49 called

Curious About Plastic. They've waited a long time, so we are finally going to get curious

about electricity.

For our listeners up here in New Jersey, for our listeners down south and Alabama, and for all our amazing listeners in between. What's the question of the week?

The question of the week is, which country in the world consumes more electricity than any other country?

Ooh, that's a good question.

Olivia, try imagining a world without electricity.

I mean no internet and no computers.

That would mean no curious kid podcast.

That would be so sad. Also, no television, no radio, no way to listen to recorded music.

No air conditioning or heat. That would be tough to adjust to. No refrigerator, no freezer.

That means watch if food will spoil very quickly.

No clothes washer and dryer.

No oven and microwave.

No dishwasher.
