      Well jeez, this information has only been known for over 100 years. What did you expect them to do?!

      Or, more accurately, what did you expect the capitalists to do? Make less money for a time while they figured out different means of generating electricity? But think of the coal barons and the oil barons and the natural gas barons and the transportation barons!

      THINK OF THE BARONS!
