Well that is a bit of good news. It also drops the claimed efficiency gains for going electric by a significant margin as it only has 61% of the conductivity of Copper. We are being such a huge bill of goods on this entire electric fleet thing I sincerely hope those pushing this crap get life sentences when this all blows up.


I've stopped counting.

It’s building back better, or is it Putin’s fault, forgot which is the official narrative this week.

You need a dude to unlock and remove the fence to even look at it.

My local Lowes has all the 12/2 Romex chained together now on a pallet, there's no more just grabbing a roll and going to the checkout.

Just paid $446 for the 34 feet of 4/3 NMB that I needed. Jeez Louise this SUCKS. Frown

Around here, everyone just buys it off the homeless on various street corners. Don't know where they get it but the price is right.

^^^I'm just kidding^^^. The homeless rip you off and pull that wire out of your home being built and get pennies on the dollars for it to buy drugs.

Little bit jaded as my car was just stolen a week back and although we got it back, the catalytic converter was cut off. It wasn't a total loss as we did receive 2 crack pipes or meth pipes (I can't tell th diff) in return. It's a common thing.

Grrrrrr
