I don't think that the Raw electricity will create any of the pollutions. and not only the electricity but any of the natural resources will not cause the pollution as it is.. in its own nature. if it has been go through any of the process, then only there may be the chance of making the pollutions.. for example, the rain water is very much pure in nature, but when it will be added with any of the drainage system, then it will become polluted the circle.. Like that all the natural things, when its go through any of the other process or mixed with others then only it will naturally creates the pollutions. Like that, the Electricity also, when its went through some of the lines, this will cause some of the anti-reactions.. This is not its mistake, its quite nature of the "natural things" Have a good day.

Absolutely no..... electricity does not cause any pollution.... but, the cause of pollution is depends upon the usage of the electricity, when you are using the electricity to hear songs, you can hear with a mild speaker..... else, if you are using a loudspeakers then you are creating sound pollution to the atmosphere using the electricity......

Electricity production causes lots of pollution.Electricity is produced in many countries by using fossil fuels.Coal is the major fuel for the fossil fuel generated electricity.Coal releases a large amount of Carbon dioxide.Australia is the largest user of fossil fuels in the production of electricity.More than 50 percent of their electricity is produced from coal.Hydroelectricity, thermal reactors,solar cells and wind turbines are the most pollution free and pratical ways to produce elctricity.

other than fossil fuel I think nuclear reactor can also be the cause of pollutions when its used for generating electricity...

electricity doesnt cause pollution. But how it generated may cause pollution such as from fossilfuel.
