Bound for greatness with that kind of goal, trio More Than Electric (MTE), made up of members singer/guitarist Thomas Cupp, Brian Pauline on bass and drummer Brennan Willis, is setting out to do just that with their blend of pop and raw rock tunes that take you back to the days of some serious classic rock.
With such a vast amount of musical groups emerging in recent years, MTE is refreshing and different. Everyone is trying to be different…so how are they doing it so they don't become part of some passing trend? By having a musical style that is constantly evolving and relevant delivered with extreme passion and conviction. Playing concerts large and small, MTE live performances deliver a show with unquenchable energy that leaves people wanting more.
Since their debut indie release, "YesterdayTodayandForever" in 2001, More Than Electric has made some major strides spiritually and musically. While playing out the past couple years, the band has played shows with artists such as Sanctus Real, Five Iron Frenzy, The Benjamin Gate, Tree63, Third Day (Spirit Song Festival), Bleach and several others.
Whatever the future may hold for this trio, More Than Electric agree that God's calling is the driving force behind this music and everything they do.

More Than Electric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We fail to see the consequence
When we find it hard
It seems so far from when we choose
To win or lose
‘Cause when we all reach inside ourselves
We unfold and find there’s something more
We will know what this life is for
When we find our faith
In the One who holds our innocence
There’s nothing left to fear
It’s up to us from when we choose
To win or lose
‘Cause when we all reach inside ourselves
We unfold and find there’s something more
‘Cause if we all see the life You lived
We will know what this life is for
When everything comes back down
We will know who holds our hope
The lyrics of More Than Electric's song "All In" encourages listeners to look beyond their fears and believe in themselves, especially when faced with difficult choices in life. The song tells us that sometimes we must dig deep and find something inside of ourselves, whether it is faith, courage, or determination, to succeed. The lyrics suggest that when we believe in ourselves and in a higher power, we can achieve greatness.
The first verse of the song tells us that fear can hinder our ability to make good decisions. If we let our fears consume us, we may not think clearly about the consequences of our choices. However, if we can overcome our fears and make choices that align with our values and beliefs, we can become successful.
The second verse encourages us to have faith in a higher power that will guide us through life's challenges. When we trust in this power, we can let go of our fears and find a sense of peace. We become empowered to make choices that reflect who we are as individuals and what we believe in.

@@peoplez129 You are underestimating how bad internal combustion engines are.
Conventional fossil fuel power stations aren't great. As you point out loose a lot of energy to a lot of places. You missed the biggest energy loss too, which is waste heat. Most fossil fuel plants are built on a river that ends up being noticeably warmer after the power station. Only something like 40% of the calorific value of fuel ends up being used as useful energy.
But your average internal combustion engine comes out much worse. Typically sitting around 20% of the calorific value being used as useful energy. Most of the rest of the energy goes to the same place as the power plant, waste heat.
In a car there isn't much you can do about heat being shot out the exhaust. But in a large scale power plant you can put in a lot more technology to extract useful energy from the waste heat. Which is the ultimate reason "Power plants are better at generating power than cars are."
@kanisnealon5062
The biggest thing I hear people say in regards to this topic is to just drive your car as long as you can. A lot of the carbon footprint in a car is in the creation, so it's always better to use things longer than to keep buying new things.
@webx135
Engineering Explained did a good job at describing this one.
In essence, this really only applies if you're driving a hybrid, and a relatively efficient one at that. But depending on your area's power mix, it actually is better to be a new EV than to continue with an existing combustion car.
And then to top that, getting a used EV is always better in that regard. But you would definitely want to look into the longevity of the car you are getting. You do NOT want to lose a battery after the warranty period.
@Malidictus
My takeaway soundbite is this: "Power plants are better at generating power than cars are." That right there is well said.
@user-bf5sc8pn8x
Just make sure to also account for the power lost by transferring the electricity from the plant, storing it in a battery, and then converting it back into kinetic energy
@peoplez129
Not particularly true though. Power plants waste a TON of energy. That's because power plants need to fluctuate supplied energy with demand. So it needs extra energy in the system for when thousands or millions of homes flick that light switch on, which collectively adds up to a lot of power just evaporating essentially. Then they also can't have too much power in the system for when demand coincidentally drops overall, because that would overload everything, so they have to burn off that energy (i.e. wasted again). So NO power plants are NOT better at generating power than cars. And that's not even counting energy losses for transporting power across lines.

@@peoplez129 they might not be doing this right now, but in theory / in principle, they could eventually cut at least some of those losses by applying battery systems. And since we're talking powerplant level batteries, that opens up some battery tech which just wouldn't be applicable to homes or appliances. - No battery is perfect, but at the very least they could reduce the losses quite a bit.
In fact, with the rise of solar, that's gonna become important anyway, since the sun only shines half a day.

@SolidusVictorium
Would be interested to hear about the environmental costs of potentially increased e waste with electric cars (eg batteries, circuit boards, etc).
@tobyinspain
We've evolved, now the battery will go into a house when it's no longer food for a car and then when it can't hold any power it can be recycled almost 100%. New batteries are so much better than even ten years ago and the recycling is far better. There will never be a landfill of batteries or a lack of metals because our recycling game is too notch. Look at Apple and there recycling program it's pretty awesome.
