If so, then what is the case that you wish to make? Specifically, which (non-mainstream) aspect of the EU idea?

Maybe not a specific case, but a general case, as EU proponents have made abundantly clear, you need electric fields to generate magnetic fields which is not always recognised in the literature. The EU claims that electric fields (charge separation) is ubiquitous in the Universe acting as a prime mover and not the consequence of hidden dynamo action or turbulence/shocks. The big question is, "where/how are those fields are generated". It seems from the article Upriver linked to, the electric fields need to be present along the whole jet, which begs the question how these fields can be stable over the distance of the jet without invoking large scale currents, (Birkeland currents) as proposed by Alfven&co.
