The premise that “outages” are happening more often is true. Once the hallmark of the third world, it has come home now. The hard truth is this… aging infrastructure, public legal liability and lack of investment in energy sourcing. It is just dumb to see the “all electric” chants from the echo chambers of those unwilling to see truth. We are not going to be ready for a century to abandon fossil fuels. And I bet the planet will survive!

Power outages have always happened. You just have the internet now to tell you about it.

I have lost power 6_8 in the last 12 months. The internet did not tell me that because it was not running.Somehow I managed to figure it out myself. There is no excuse period!!!

This is the norm in parts of Mexico where there is not enough delivery system including for water. Less infrastructure and more customers can yield a bigger profit.

In Mexico where public works is underfunded, the next subdivision promises to make the upgrades but it never happens so everyone takes their turn for power and water. Say what you will but planned outage can be just an excuse for not enough. Just love those electric vehicles and don’t forget to use less water so more homes can be constructed.

If we can’t keep the lights on we need an overhaul or our states leadership… every week another outage….
