“This precious, vital energy source you channel through wires, which you hang 25 feet in the air on unprotected and unsupported poles. In fact, the only thing stopping them from falling over is some dirt and each other, which means that, should they fall over—and I am aware that this is a rare occurrence, probably only every time the wind blows—they drag their neighbors down with them.” ~Lord Vetinari on electricity, 'lovely weather we're having, isn't it?' by www.fanfiction.net/~lily22
