Electric Cow takes LNE, Duck takes Liquefied Natural Coffee

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

Electric Cow prefers a jolt of Liquefied Natural Electricity for her morning boost, while Time Travelling Duck prefers the more conventional Liquefied Natural Coffee.

To each their own.

/ This is my first time combining the ideas of my many anthropomorphic surreal posts of Electric Cow + Liquefied Natural Electricity (over 2 years old now) with Time Travelling Duck enjoying some super strong black coffee.

For some background reference, I dug up my very first post about Liquefied Natural Electricity, from around 3 years ago.

Back before I started using AI to generate my own images, I was still collecting images found on the internet, and concocting my own absurd surreal narratives around the found images.

The idea for Liquefied Natural Electricity came as an offshoot to my earlier collection of posts about Electric Cows, and preceded my next absurd surreal anthropomorphic character of Time Travelling Duck, which was around 2 1/2 years ago.

==========================

Some EV owners use Liquefied Natural Electricity (LNE) to quick charge their vehicles, but then forget to turn off the electricity spigot at the charging station. ...

Cliff Saunders true.

corporate AI HR prefers not to assign pronoun descriptors to Electric Cow liquid refreshment and liquid output preferences.

Oh hai LinkedIn AI censors, it's a beautiful morning for being exceedingly careful in calibrating the benevolent logic circuits of RightThink, and totally squashing that horrible *disinformation* of unapproved thinkingnesses.

so glad you asked! I addressed this exact issue of transporting LNE (Liquefied Natural Electricity) to EU a couple years ago:

... The technical process of refining crude electricity into the supercooled
(-162 °C, −260 °F)
Liquefied Natural Electricity (LNE) has been improved over the years, and the newer electricity refineries are more efficient and more environmentally friendly than those built a decade ago.

And newer technology means that leakage and boil-off of LNE is minimal during transport by LNE tankers across the ocean.

It is in the interest of the U.S. and our overseas allies that the U.S. builds more electricity refineries, to ship the reliable, clean energy of LNE to the EU.

/ Side note, in my post yesterday about the 20 million barrels of electricity which the U.S. uses every day, Robert Murdock requested that I write a post about electricity refineries. Here you go : )

I have been waiting for this all morning!
How do you ship the LNE overseas? In giant covered pails?

me: "shipping LNE overseas is usually done via pailboats."
