I want to see the maggats who get funding from putin try to dance around this. We would be obligated to step in and they wouldn't know what to do with themselves.

Yeah, it was showing that there was 9 comments but I couldn't see any. Its probably the instance this account is using.

Now I see a few comments

I see it.

I'm in Duke energy territory and the past few years they have been really getting their act together. It doesn't make it better than a coop model but they have been extremely proactive about clearing trees and anything else that would interfere with the lines as well as adding new capacity to the existing lines, adding/upgrading/replacing poles that are holding more weight than they should, etc.

I meant to mention in another comment that I was utility locate tech for a couple of years so in addition to my standard geek creds, I have a deeper understanding of this and see it from a different angle than the average citizen.

Personally we are planning on getting some solar panels installed hopefully this year or early next year, that along with a large enough battery and a v2h adapter (when it becomes an option for my car) will make us virtually immune to outages.

That isn't over construction, that's under production of electricity. My city has a literal fuck ton of manufacturing all over and we have no rolling black outs and very little outages even with most of the lines above ground. We do get our power from a nuclear plant so that definitely helps.

A lot of these energy issues are hyper local. Texas for example is the worst in the country for maintenance, price, outages, etc and it's not solely because of the weather.

It is extremely expensive and arduous to bury lines that have been aerial for decades. The cost to bury existing lines is exponentially greater than the cost to keep fixing them as needed for decades. New lines are sometimes buried depending on whether it's an upgrade to existing infrastructure, power going to a new neighborhood, etc.

Do yourself a favor and look into exactly what it would take just to get approval from the city, county, etc and right of way from the various owners of land where you want to bury them. Not to mention the hell that would cause for traffic when you have to shut down roads to go under them or worst case tear them up and replace them.

I am not giving the utility companies a pass here but it's not as easy as some people seem to think it is.

So anyway, I started blasting....

None of this is accurate at all.

Work harder at your fake news and bullshit.

For those who may not know, we have gun regulations because the black panthers started carrying and some people (I'll let you guess who) didn't like it that black folks were carrying weapons.

Its because the shootings are caused by those transgenders. How? Reasons.

/s because /s

Trump hasn't been right about anything. The things he and the rest of the maggats have been "right" about are because they say that x will happen and then they make it happen.

Anyone who votes for trump either wants to see the world burn or has been so brainwashed that their opinions aren't worth listening to.

It's time for the adults to stand up and take this country back from the nazis and fascists who want to burn it to the ground. It's time to stop giving the maggats any mic time and we need to stop listening their ramblings.
