That would be scary. Cancer rates would sky rocket.

The primary reason it was discontinued was that it made it too easy for consumers to piggy back off of the electric company without paying.

Indeed, cancer rates would skyrocket, and the spike would likely be blamed on Global Warming.

I can already feel my brain cells being sucked out by the induction magnets, just from thinking about this concept.

Great idea, just hope its not a contributor to wide spread brain cancer one day.
