They who control the energy supply, control the consumer.
I remember my grandfather talking about resisting the Rural electric lines being run to his house because "they couldn't afford it". They were getting by just fine. But REC made him a deal, with a good sell to the neighbors, so everyone on his road could get hooked up.
Like a junkie with a needle in his arm, when does the need ever go away once hooked?

After construction of a generator building (still standing) and a 180 foot broadcasting tower (dynamited in world war I on the dubious pretext of being a potential navigation reference for German U-boats), financial support for the project was suddenly withdrawn by J. P. Morgan when it became apparent that such a worldwide power project couldn't be metered and charged for.

All i know there has to be a consumer, cant have free stuff,well maybe on a good day at walmart where we get 2 for 1 deal. But that just reinforces Chicoms Military Industrial complex so not sure how 2 for 1 is free...
