Stupid comment... enough said.


But I dont see how you would use a Carrier to power a city. There are several logistic issues to contend with.

For one thing the voltage phase and frequency most likely would not match. Then how to deliver the power? It's not like plugging in an extension cord. Then theres the safety issues ... overcurrent protection, arc fault protection, physical protection.

Finally theres the unseen factor. Lets say you ran some heavy copper cables to transmitt the power. It is almost assuredly only a matter of time before someone tries to steal that copper. It's Haitai thats how they do things.

No personally I think there efforts would be better put into re-establishing what little infrastructure they had there to begin with.
