The sun doesn't shine at night, so every solar panel drops offline. Wind doesn't always blow, got to cover those low points. Energy storage is needed. It's a mater of scale. We don't have the batteries to store that kind of power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muddy_Run_Pumped_Storage_Facility is a comparable facility.

Taking property without proper compensation is wrong. So pay them double what the land is worth. Half in cash now, and half in stock in the new power company. Power companies make money, having part ownership is money every year for them and their heirs.

Great. NS new this kind of accident would happen eventually. The business plan is to do shady and illegal shit to save/make money. When the accident happens just pay less in fines than NS made by doing that illegal shit. Profit, then just repeat. It pays for itself.

The only way to break this cycle is to fine them out of existence. Maker every shareholder lose everything. Making safety a profit motive is the only way to make them be safe.

No good reason to run out of paper. To run out in the first half of the day is pathetic. Also no reason you couldn't have those people fill out a provisional ballet and then cure it. And lets not forget the ability to write down anyone's name who was denied a vote. They don't know how many because no one tried to keep a count.

1 guy with a tally board could keep track of people who came after they ran out with no names at all.

No one tried to get accurate facts, because "uncountable voters turned away" is a better narrative.
