I am not sure I like some of the ways he says things at the first of the article, but the last half the article looks fairly good.

Bottom line, you need to think of the full path of the electricity, both positive and negative sides. AND you need to ensure the size of conductors required gets larger with current and distance.

Please tell what you don't like about the article.
We can all learn something from what you think and have to say.

At the beginning the guy's attempt at explaining current flow was a little lame and detracted from the article. He wanted to explain conventional current flow which is + to - vs. actual electron flow which is - to +. He did an inadequate job and as I said before it brought nothing to the article. The current flow direction really is unimportant for what he was writing about.
