    Perhaps the USA should consider following the lead of Saudi Arabia, and start planning to join the 220V world, allowing thinner final circuit cables for a given power, or as they seem to desperately need, more power for a given installation. I think we could be in for a long wait.  Interestingly the Saudis are, at least on paper, moving to the UK fused plug model, not the round pin Europlug.
