Who is more insane, the one selling the bridge or the one buying it?

the only thieves are the electric company. If you even knew how cheap it was to make and how much is just shot into the ground after houses don't use it anyway.. how often has the electric guy had to fix something? by me its like maybe once every 4 years? and when you need something it takes forever. I cant choose another provider company without paying a "delivery charge" on a wire and pole that was installed over 30 years ago! ridiculous. they dont update anything and charge waaay too much.

you're missing the point. you're still stuck in the "I need to pay for things" mind set. Everything could be free buy now. You could broadcast electricity like radio waves, in fact they used some of Tesla's patents to make cell phones work . Sooooooo you can make appliances and electronics with a little antennae or whatever and just pull the power out of the air. he did successful experiments with this. No need for poles & wires or people to fix them.

@voidenter You sound like a deranged psycho. Tesla designed it to be free?

Here's a no brainer question for you:

Why should honest people have to pay for electricity while other's steal it? Same goes for groceries and shoplifting. If you're not paying for it, you're stealing. Also, keep in mind, your electric bill pays for all of the workers you see working for the utility. The meter is the utilities cash register. Understand why utilities are now cracking down on energy theives? Idiot.

@NJO21186 I agree and disagree. 1: Hooking up electricity like that is dangerous and puts people at a safety risk.

2: you sound like a bitter idiot..

tesla designed it to be free.

free energy got stolen from the world by greedy fucks.

plain and simple. do a little research.

If people figure out a way to make their life easier that isnt dangerous

more power to them.

I support DTE's efforts, as well as other utilities efforts in deterring energy theft!! No one is entitled to free electricity. Keep up the hard work.
