My understanding is they are selling the electrical tension (and charging for that) and not the electron.


Yeah, they are charging for continuously sending that damned electron back to you. But, if you wait long enough, it'll probably come back on its own anyway.

What a scam.


They're preying on our desire for instant gratification, no doubt.

Electrons as Service (not a product)
