Reply #26: Experts agree that power transmission lines (almost all date from FDR)

Are overloaded, and grid operators are being pressured to keep overloading the lines- even if it causes blackouts- due to the deregulation of electricity. No new lines are being built. Only a matter of time before our power situation is similar to Baghdad. We are in deep shit. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Roads, highways, water systems (including dams & levees), bridges, etc are all not being maintained and upgraded. Yet we take it like a flock of sheep being herded along. I honestly question whether the dems will address & fix these issues if/when they regain power. They are so beholden to the multinationals - same as the rethugs. Interesting times indeed.
