  1.  @erickberg5641  Ben Franklin only experimented with a kite and a lightning bolt. Any of the names above harnessed electricity.

  2.  @settame1  Actually, no. At the time, it was established that the flow of current is so that positive charges move in the direction of it, and negative charges move opposite to it. They didn't know that electrons had positive or negative charges, nor they did assume the charges were positive by mistake. What they did was very clever: a catch all for both positive and negative charges. Physics has many laws that work like this: a positron is an electron flowing back in time, a white hole is a black hole reversed in time, etc. And yet, it is possible to have positive charges in electricity, either in the form of ions or holes, and they do "move" in the same direction of the established flow of current. Also, unlike what is taught in schools, there is no "real" direction of current. Conventional direction applies to everything by the same rules. However, the real direction of electrons is counter to that. It doesn't matter.

  3. Well, German ministers made the bed for Germany. They should know whoever imports is in a weak position.

  4. The difference is that they weren't in power, and not they are.
