The power companies have been trying to up grade the grid for years with new power lines. But people not want the power lines close to them. So the power lines are being built. |
It needs to happen yesterday, first world countries don’t have rolling blackouts, sh1thole countries do.
If it’s electric vehicles that get the federal and state governments to finally get off their azzes and upgrade the national grid, then good, shoulda been started 20 years ago.
