And just WHAT preceeded 'the grid'? (This is a technical question meant to plumb the depths of your technical and historical knowledge insofar as reviewing the development of the present day elctrical generation and distribution system.)
Methinks you don't know and are simply and mindlessly parroting something someone else mouthed ...
See post # 75.
Radioactive asserts that the grid can be taken down.
Who better that you to set him right?
You thinks WRONG!!!!!!!
I've had experience with the "GRID" and I know of what I speak.
Running extreme voltages at low amps and then transforming them into higher amp lower voltages resluts in losses.
Just because Tesla invented the way we provide electricity does not mean there is a better way.
Small electrical generation systems are far better than huge centralized systems because if the huge system goes down......then huge amounts of people do not have electricity.
I'm for home genereation of electricty...........there are many ways to generate electricity that does not require massive expenditures of capitol. Big money means big bills....and with all the outages that have been happening......well.....If you think the GRID is not the problem...then you are mindlessly trolling...........
