Hi Neville, As a book I once saw had for a title "There Are No Electrons" <g> We think there are, they are an explanatory device to help us navigate a world of Energy we try to fiddle with - - well, I see I've run over your word limit. . . . . . On the other hand, there ARE "holes"; Oh yes, the very definitive Lack of electrons. "Holes" are hungry, or so it seems to us, they are hungry for - you guessed it - electrons, [which is why there are no electrons, I guess, sort of like pac-man munching along.] [Except, maybe, at the philosophical 'zero point', the very belly button of quantum creation, but I digress.] Now if the wholly (err,) imaginary electrons are for some mysterious reason going from 'negative' (another mythological construct) to 'positive' is it not reasonable to expect the "holes" would do the opposite in their ravenous hunt?? 'Course it is! Which is "really" the electricity though, clock- or counter-? Well, like at the ZP, it all happens at once, both ways.
And indeed these conceptual entities are not waiting in some conceptual energy "buckets" you could pour out into a wire through the electron or hole funnels, they are already everywhere, and tend toward equilibrium. Various influences including our tendency to meddle with stuff, disturbs this energy equilibrium, and we make use of the disequilibrium for our own nefarious purposes.
