Really? You've never learned about chemical processes, heat, conversions of energy? Isn't this something you would learn in school? Well, ok, then here is an ELI5: If you have a stove, running with coal, then you can't use electricity to fuel it. You need to buy a new stove, which is able to run with electricity. And if some of those stoves are very expensive stoves, running in an industrial complex or a chemical plant, then you need to invest a very high amount of money to replace the parts of the complex or plant. > As someone who lives in Ontario, Canada, we got rid of all of our coal in 2014 and have lots of nuclear: Is that the same Canada who sold their uranium-mining or nuclear rod-productions to Russia?
