Default How does the typical mains power connect in the USA anyway?

Wild_Bill scrit:

It is aburd to belive that power is returned thru many miles of distribution
gear and back to the generation source, or that it's returned thru the soil.


The guy gfretwell showed us a few amps of current heading directly into
the ground.

Where did those few amps come from, and where did they go?
