He said "low risk" not "no risk." Low risk indicates that there's still some risk that you'll lose your money. I have no idea what that has to do with electricity supoly lines.

My point is that you are lending to individual people since you lose money when they default on their loan.

(Electricity supply lines: say you sign up for "green" electricity. Nobody comes and physically cables you up to a separate grid, you just pay for more green electricity and all the different companies work it the numbers behind the scenes. Similar to what waitwhat is saying)
