What do you mean by this?

Are you claiming that "if one amp were injected into the grid, the
resulting voltage would be infinite"?  That can only happen if the
distance is infinite, and is really as much an objection to the
concept of "infinite" as anything else.  For a finite separation
between the two significant nodes, the voltage must be finite.

Or, are you instead saying that the proposed method yields infinite
voltages for a finite separation?  If so, I must confess that I did
not observe it doing any such thing, and I'd like some explanation
about how you get that result.

Or did you really mean something else?

Thanks,
