Three of the past four times that Cornell has subjected the Crimson to such a pregame greeting, it has followed up by putting its money where its fish is, sending Harvard home with a loss.

That, says Makovich, is another big reason the U.S. has significantly higher rates of power loss than countries like France (only 53 minutes lost per year on average) or the Netherlands (only 29 minutes) - and why it may still have higher loss rates even after the big investments are finished.
