I don't know why so many have been taken in by all of this green crap. I've got no problem with trying to keep the environment clean, but you have to have a reasonable balance. Look at the people pushing electric vehicles, now they can't afford to charge them in Texas.Appreciate your frank inside knowledge. A personal friend of mine worked for the local power plant he made reference to much of what you said years ago. They were being pushed to stop using coal and had to invest heavily in windmills, exc.. it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what was going to happen.
Well we’re here now, my son has now been without power for about five hours today. It was -14 when he lost power and that’s not wind chill. He tells me people are getting pissed off at>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you guessed it “the power company”! It’s sad that so many people can’t figure this shit out on there own, they wouldn’t believe the truth even if it slapped them upside the head.
During public speaking engagements on simple things like road widening's or upgrading distribution/transmission facilities, I was appalled by how rabid people would become when they found out that trees were going to be removed from their property.................They would blame the utilities even though the state had used eminent domain to acquire property. I had a guy pull a gun and threatened to kill me because lines had to be moved on what use to be his property. He was arrested a week later when he did the same thing to a gas utility employee.
When we would try to upgrade infrastructure and replace aging power lines or facilities, there were often lawsuits to prevent such actions. The number of times I've told bitchin' customers that they will have to make up their minds what they want? Is it going to be power or trees?........................ Their answer was usually " put the lines under the ground." Trust me, that would be a nightmare.
