  Electric Slide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Electric Slide is a four wall line dance.
It was choreographed to the international hit song Electric Boogie by Marcia Griffiths written for her by Bunny Wailer who did not copyright the song until 1982.
Many people felt that the dance was called The Electric Slide because in the song - the lyrics state "I'll teach you the electric slide" but the slide is actually a variation step and the Dance is called "The Electric" Copyrighted in 1976, Mr Silver registered his choreography in 2003 with the Library of Congress.

{Her "Electric Boogie" with Bunny Wailer was a hit in the USA in 1989 - seven years after it was recorded - and even inspired its own dance - "The Electric Slide".

 TomPaine.com - The Electric Grid Slide
The increase in electricity rates is partially due to soaring natural gas prices—which are, in part, the result of the poorly planned expansion of natural gas power plants set loose by restructuring in the late 1990s.
Many states capped electric rates to sugarcoat industry deregulation; which was rushed through many state legislatures.  Now, the caps are about to come off.
Along with the California energy crisis of 2001 and the flout of 2003, these developments highlight the flaws in our electric system.  It is now clear that federal officials dragged their heels in response to the hijinks of Enron and other players in California.

 Slide Guitar -- The Basics
Somewhere along the way, an unknown person discovered that running a slide made of metal, glass or bone along a guitar string would produce a sound very similar to the dynamics of a the human voice.
A piece of wire could be nailed to the side of a barn, for example, and one or both ends raised slightly by inserting a bridge.
With slide, unless the neck is bent 90 degrees to the side, you're ok because you don't have to fret about fretting and intonation.

The death knell for pure electric cars sounded this summer when California's regulators, responding to industry arguments that battery power wasn't economically feasible, backed away from stringent antipollution rules that had accelerated the vehicles' development.
Battery life is extending rapidly, and electric cars' performance and styling have edged ever closer to their gas cousins.
In the late 1800s, electricity vied with steam and internal combustion for the top spot in new automotive technology.

One advantage electrics seem to have (although not sure hydraulics dont too) is that, if there is an object preventing the slide from moving, it just trips a circuit breaker.
Although some coach mfgrs use hydraulic rams to extend and retract slides, they seem a bit more complex which may or may not pose a greater potential for problems.
I think you would be happy with the electric type - at least the Newmar style - can't say about other electrics.

Engine shut-off at idle, electric power steering, harder and reduced rolling resistance tires (at the expense of comfort and traction), reduced option content, reduced engine performance, and, in the case of the Ford, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) all help raise the cars’ overall efficiency.
it is still much easier to filter and control centralized pollution created by electric power plants from which electric cars get power than to control the diffuse pollution of individual vehicles spouting damaging gases from every road and highway in the country.

 Amazon.com: Electric Slide Guitar (The Ultimate Beginner Series) (The Ultimate Beginner Series): Books: Keith Wyatt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The first subject to be addressed with slide guitar playing is the slide itself.
This book covers the subject very well (it's mostly BLUES slide book, but hey, it's what the slide is mostly good for), Keith shows you how to begin playing with slide (at first in standard tuning by the way), shows techniques and then he gets down to some pretty standard blues slide licks.
I found this book to be very useful and don't consider that "Fretboard Roadmaps - Slide Guitar" is better simply, because like I said Keith is way better player, the feel, the tone, the licks, everything is better then in other book (I own both of them by the way).
