Reply to comment by decayo in Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky

thats what anti-techonologists ALWAY whine.

after fighting the electric grid companies tooth and nail for a decade, then you all turn around and whine that your power keeps going out.

if the grid company is not making money, it is going to spend bupkiss keeping the local distribution lines free and clear!

you can not have it both ways

You are the first person that has ever described me as an "anti-technologist". I work at one of the largest tech companies in the world, remotely over the internet, seated in front of a 55 inch QD-OLED that I use as a monitor. I bought 3 new tvs in the last year and have built a new computer at least every 2 years for the last 20. Knowing how the grid works isn't "anti-technologist". The idea that power companies aren't making money, or that the "northern pass" is the only way to fix that, comes from a hopelessly simplistic view of energy policy that is driven entirely by industry propaganda that says "if only you'd give us everything we want everything would be so much better". You're a mark.
