I live near some power lines, I don't think it's Tesla's genius that I'm absorbing.

Tesla was awesome...everyone knows that that 'asteroid' explosion in Siberia was most likely one of Tesla's experiments gone awry...the one that leveled 200 acres of forest and caused herds of animals to explode instantaneously. I think it was due to that huge coil at Wyrdancliffe (sp?).

While his experiments were incredible, there were some definite drawbacks. The 'grid' program would probably have coincided with the worldwide 'ability to beam incredible explosions anywhere' program. Of course the military has held control over any serious research done by Tesla. It is very dangerous technology, in several ways.

A friend of mine tinkered with a couple of experiments himself, until he realized that it is very easy to cook your internal organs with them, unknowingly.

"Hey, what's that smell?"

Crumple.
