They are going to have to upgrade the infrastructure anyways for all the electric cars that are coming so it would certainly make sense to address at least the big problem areas. I'd prefer to see some sort of solar design or something to make each property energy independent and eliminate utility companies once and for all though if the government is going to invest in it. Ultimately it would probably be best to go nuclear for generation though and to help reduce costs for us make them all public non-profit entities.
