That’s a good angle I hadn’t considered.

I grew up on the east coast and the power would go out almost every storm thanks to blown transformers.

I moved to Colorado 18 years ago and I’ve had 2 outages since. 1 was planned maintenance we were given plenty of warning of and the other was because a vehicle hit a ground transformer and took it out, power was restored the same day. They’re eons ahead of anywhere with lines still on poles. Everything gets buried here on build out. It’s freaking great.
