Seriously! The 1200w is almost laughable.

You mean the one with six? Or the one with eight?  ::)
On the bright side, mr. eight-rail can pull a whopping 2880 watts if all rails are loaded up...

Except it can't.

Agreed.  We should all just have a single 100 amp or 200 amp breaker in our homes and plug every device into it.  If a light socket wants to draw 200 amps, then so be it.  If I want to plug in a welder in my bathroom, that shouldn't be a problem either.

This makes me question why we even have multiple breakers...
Because the electrical technology that's feasable for our homes is too shoddy to accommodate a large amperage and will burn everything down otherwise?

Also, 14/2 w/ground TOTALLY outghta be able to deliver 150 amps @240. I mean, that would make everything sooooo easy right?

Exactly.   I was upset when I had to buy 125 feet of 6/3 to plug in my sub-panels and miners when 14/2 could have done it.  Next time, I'm just going outside, cutting open the transformer, and plugging everything in there.

(for those of you who aren't picking up on us being sarcastic -- we're definitely not being sarcastic)

On that note, gas and water shutoff valves are stupid too.  If the pipes under my sink break, just let that sucker flood.
