Approaching comparing apple to oranges here, so I have to agree with Kirk. The loss associated with the transportation of electrical power are known expected loss, loss that little can be done to prevent. The loss of water in the transportation of the water in this example is due to the deterioration of the transporting equipment. Again expected, but tolerated until the cost of loss nears the cost of repairs or replacement, just SOP. Doug, N0LKK Kansas USA inc.
