I have considered the idea, but I don't see the practical value. USA will not change a bit, most of the good things from Europe cannot be reapplied (incompatible standards and equipment) and, to be very honest, there is no single European standard to follow; Germany has probably the best, but I saw some good stuff in UK that is quite incompatible (RCBO in TT), I dislike Italian sockets and I am not a fan of UK plugs (fuse in plugs? really?) and ring circuits (saving copper was real in 1950, but we are 70 years later).
So it would just sound as bashing USA without providing any solutions. It would be even illegal to adopt most European technologies in a house in USA.
