Which makes me wonder if it wouldn't be good to have our AC power
lines run at about 1000 Hz or so. No more shocks, no more accidental
electrocutions. The worst that could happen would be a burn.
Something to think about, eh?
I know the arguments against it - transmission loss being the most
significant - but someday when houses have their own little nuclear
generators and are "off the grid" it might be something to consider.

Actually, the power transmission would be much more efficient as the
transformers and capacitors could be made much smaller.
