Free Electricity
Our undercover agent, Ankh first alerted me to this guy, we'll call him Martin as that's his name, during COVID.
He made all sorts of wild claims and although we found out in the long run that he wasn't necessarily wrong about them all but this one that has come up lately is what's known in the trade as "a doozy".
So, he thinks that pylons are there to pull energy from the ether for free and then that energy is sent to our homes. And we're being ripped off.
I mean, he's right about the latter part.
But really? I mean, if this was true why aren't there pylons EVERYWHERE? There aren't.
In fact, I seem to recall there are LESS pylons out there these days than when I was a kid.
He tries to set up his claim at the start, "People think they are there to help carry the cables"
Well, yes, they are.
"Most cables are underground"
Yes, they are.
But just look where you do actually see pylons.
Across farmers fields, across roads, motorway bridges etc. You can't lay high voltage cables there. No farmer is going to have their land dug up to house this cables.
If it was true that energy is just pulled "from the ether" then there would be pylons everywhere. There also wouldn't be talk of capacity problems, we wouldn't need nuclear power stations or gas powered electric power stations would we?
To suggest that Tesla proved this is also nonsense. Tesla may have wanted free energy for all, but he didn't pull it out the sky and send it to someone's house! He transmitted electricity over a short distance using radio waves, that's not quite the same!
Interesting that he thinks we should get something for free just because it's available for free too. I mean, water falls out of the sky doesn't it but we have to pay for it to be treated, distributed and the upkeep of the pipes etc.
I mean, we get ripped off there too, granted, but just because it falls from the sky for free doesn't mean to say it should be free for us.
Even if this pylon theory was true, who pays for the pylons? Surely these pylons have to do something to turn the magical ether juice into actual electricity? Who pays for the hardware? Who pays for the cables to come to your house? It's only ever going to be free if you do it yourself, and it's only free AFTER you've built your infrastructure.
"Only fear and lack of knowledge means you still pay for them". Does he get free 'leccy now then?
He says "Knowledge is power", I thought pylons were power!
I can honestly say that this is one theory I won't look back at in 2 years and say, "Oh, that Martin fella, I think he was right after all"...
