I remember that too, but can't remember what happened. I know in the games
here we've played with the idea using specially redesigned Telekinetic
Manipulations to spin the turbines of an electrical generator. Combine that
with an Anchoring / Quickening sort of thing, I can see it working okay.

the problem IMO comes in when some "keep the magic pure" terrorist group comes
along and attempts grounding magic to destroy the sites where stuff like this
happens...
