[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5667746, member: 58386"] What I was talking about was the polar vortex of 2021 that froze out the power generation and transmission system of a large part of Texas. Estimates of the number of people killed by the storms and power loss run from 240 to as high as 700. Texas to it's credit is rapidly expanding renewable power generation. If it's going continue to cut itself off from the national power grid and temperatures continue to rise in that state it's going to need all the power redundancy it can find. At the same time however go out into rural America and chances are you will have no trouble finding miles and miles of old cooperative 7200 REA lines that were erected in the late 30's and early 40's under the Rural Electrification Act. You have to wonder how much longer they're going to remain standing. [/QUOTE]
