The failure or success of the scheme would depend on how many instances of power-cord-over-the-fence arrangements arise. To agree to the arrangement, both neighbours would presumably need to:
-not consider the need to talk to each other (or indeed introduce themselves - I've never known a neighbour!) a significant cost;
-be significant peak-period power consumers (otherwise, why bother);
-have some way of dividing between the two neighbours the peak-period power bill that is charged to one house (ie have some sort of meter attached to the power cord, or have some sort of honour system)(I hated splitting bills in share houses - John Humphreys' failure to pay a Telstra bill in my name has left me with a bad credit record until 2007!).
