I thought that was the part that he didn't reveal, the secret that he took to the grave (or perhaps was "suppressed by the authorities or companies") which made the whole system actually work.

Actually it is as impractical, exactly as the conspiracy thorists state.

You got a generator, OK anyone gets the machine they canatap the power.

OK, the generator gets the power froom the universe somehow, some s*it like that.

OK, who maintains the generator ? Someone has to be paid. Whom ? If I use 1

00 times the electricity someone else does, is it fair that I pay the same total amount ?

Even if a way was found to get around the losses and everything else, and e ven somehow meter it (which would be impossible to enforce) what of the env ironment ? You think the plants are going to grow just fine with all that p ower going through them all the time ?

The bigger issue is the invasivness of the minute by minute monitoring the meters provide. Turns out it's a great way to be Big Brother.

The big stupidity in PGE-land is while the line-powered KWH meters do peer-to-peer to the node with cell backhaul; the gas meters, on battery power, must talk straight to a node...needing far more power.
