Well, this entire discussion is about how the power supply works, so,
it is germane to the discussion how the power company completes the

This is a piece of a approx 192 post thread at a.h.r where Danny thinks
the earth is used as a conductor in power distribution. Everyone
disagrees, but he is not convinced. And the usual tangents.
His reference at howstuffworks has huge problems, as detailed at a.h.r
