“Bei uns kommt der Strom aus der Steckdose” = Our electricity comes from the socket.  This was familiar saying in the 80s in Germany. I don’t know the origin but nowadays it is used disparagingly to characterise an attitude of people who want (and waste) electricity  mindless of how it is produced.  This transformer substation reminded me of this phrase although I’m sure the electricity company meant to illustrate that they are the ones supplying electricity to all households.  The houses are typical for the region, the Odenwald in Germany.
