Why are we working so hard to avoid use of electricity? I would have
thought that one of the advantages of living outside the shadow of the
Earth is that solar-generated electricity would be very cheap.

Not only do I predict inhabitants of orbital habitats will use
electricity for all of the applications we do at present, I further
predict they will use if for application we presently do not because of
the price/kilowatt we pay.
