Which, naturally, brought about the inevitable comment about Darwin, when it hit me:We had a guy crisp himself about 4 miles from my house doing the very same thing.
Evolution in action.
The power station is "Darwin's Bug Zapper" to money-hungry methheads.

I think "Evolution in Action" was Jerry Pournelle. Oath of Fealty perhaps?
GBBL:
"Think of it as evolution in action" was indeed a catch phrase used by the residents of Todos Santos in Oath of Fealty.
I don't remember if that was original to Niven and Pournelle, or if they picked it up from members of the LA SF community.
Bug zapper works, sure, but where do we find the big can of spray that gets 'em all to stay out of our yards for several days per application?
I think I just snorted ice tea through my nose laughing...

Forget having a weekend of entertainment with a home-grade bug-zapper and a six-pack of beer.
With Darwin's Bug-Zapper(tm) and an open line of credit at the local liquor store, you've got entertainment for months.
You are welcome Jay.
Yeah. Think I'll pilfer that one for da funnies
Last year Mostly Cajun (aka the Tanker) had some cautionary pictures of people who won Darwin Awards with the assistance of high voltage. Yup, extra crispy. Some people just gotta learn the hard way.

Geeze, If you're too damn cheap to buy a line induction meter carry a short florescent tube. If the tube glows go someplace else.
