Well, that's true if you are talking about H2O only. In fact, ultra-pure water is used as a cooling medium in the coils of some large utility generators. It is the impurities that give water a conductivity and virtually all common well, rain, or river water has very high conductivity.

Frank,

I simply stated that as a PUN. Notice the emoticon banging his head.
