I doubt anyone is under the impression that it is going to be as efficient as direct power. At least no one paying attention.

Edit: The downvotes lead me to believe a not insignificant number of people don’t understand how energy works.

The number of people electrocuting themselves doing stupid stuff leads me to believe this, but these downvotes help solidify that lol
