I think that was kind of a whimsical suggestion; like, even if you had a magical technology that eliminated all need for electrical wiring, you'd still only reduce building costs by a small amount.
- Gibbon1 5y agoI've thought that creating a 100-150 watt power over Ethernet standard for home wiring would be a win. Advantage faster install, cheaper cabling, and better safety. Better safety because you can limit the default power to under 15W. Faster install because you use crimp connectors.

- imgabe 5y agoDesktop computer? Large TV + stereo system? Refrigerator? Toaster oven? Printer? There’s a lot of things that use more than 150w. I can’t imagine how you’re going to sell people on “here let’s make your house fundamentally worse and less capable. Oh, and you also need to buy all new appliances with different plugs“
- tapland 5y agoSo you created a system for providing lamps with electricity. Why not battery power those low power items as well?
