I'm still waiting for the day when they can make an outlet with only ONE
blade! Three seems excessive on any outlet, regardless if it's 120,
220, 480, or any other voltage. The ground is worthless and there
should be a way to eliminate the neutral. Just supply the hot wire and
eliminate the rest. Lets simplify America and stop using all that
excess wire.


Reguire an 8-foot ground rod for each appliance (even a clock or
nightlight), and use that for neutral. Then you can have one-blade outlets.
