[Amps] NEC Prophecy

[R.Measures]

I predict that near the beginning of the next century,, the NEC will 
absolutely, positively require 7-conductor plugs for all 240v circuits 
in order to accomodate  2 hot wires, a neutral wire, a neutral 
safety-backup wire, a safety-ground wire, an emergency backup 
safety-ground wire. and a spare just in case the NEC dreams up 
something else,  and that a new crop of Hams will get around to talking 
about the good old days when the NEC actually allowed  (now-verboten)  
4-conductor plugs and receptacles for 240V circuits, and when the NEC 
allowed Ham transmitters to run more than 100 watts.
