Reply to comment by vexingsilence in Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky

Ok boomer. How does it feel knowing that you, and people like you, are actively making the world a worse place?

Move to a city if you want more reliable electricity. Geniuses like you choose to live in areas that don't have the creature comforts you want, then you bitch about it and try to force the rest of us to pay it.

I grew up in fucking Alaska, they even figured this shit out. It's assholes like you digging your feet in holding everyone back.

Move back to Alaska then. Or pay for it yourself. You're not even from around here but you want people to pay to increase the reliability of your electric service? That's some entitlement.

That's exactly what I'm suggesting, I pay for my portion, you pay for yours, and by everyone pitching in and paying a small portion of it, we all get more reliable power.

No, because it will cost a lot more per service point in rural areas than it will in denser city areas. Yet when work like this gets done, the costs tend to be evenly distributed. Besides which, we don't need this in the cities. The power doesn't go out that often. Might be nice for aesthetic reasons but it's not worth the disruption.
