They extract it centrifugally, that is, they spin the water around really really fast until the electricity comes out the outside, then they pipe it to barrels where it's cleaned (fish removed, stuff like that) and put into wires so it can get to your house. Those big round things in the picture are centrifugal turbines.
Tee hee! Thank you, Aviatrix! I just wish they could keep the electricity from leaking out of the sockets; I have a hard time keeping all of them filled with plugs.
Elaine, you can keep the electricity in the sockets by using crocheted covers. I`m told that`s what my grandmother did, to avoid having to mop up puddles of electricity from the floor. Of course that was in the old days, before they took out the fish, so it was a lot messier then.

Electricity is inherently boring (unless you don't have any) and I still don't understand how they get the electricity out of the water!
