Thousands of Americans without power due to severe weather - eviltoast
A storm front has headed north-east after at least 23 people died in tornadoes and high winds across four states.

Tornadoes and devastating thunderstorms have left nearly 300,000 residents across seven states without power as of Monday night.

Over the weekend, huge storms killed at least 23 people and left a path of destruction across the central US.

    We have OTA wireless charging. It’s effective for DC transmission.

    In the fight for AC vs. DC between Edison and Tesla, Tesla’s predictions of end use turned out to be correct. However, Edison’s point about long range transmission voltage drop was the determining factor. We’d need countless more substations to compensate for the voltage drop of long range DC transmission. Although, now it’s theoretically possible in areas with high solar production adoption supplementing the grid.
