“Paid for by your tax dollars even as maintenance on US infrastructure continues to put off indefinitely due to lack of funds.”
Probably paid for with that evil oil money, as shameful as that is.
Funny though, they were just replacing some power poles near me. The wood ones were old and split while the new concrete ones are hurricane proof. Nope, no maintenance here.
I work for an electric utility. We’re always expanding, rebuilding, modernizing, replacing our physical plant, including substations. We don’t have any crumbling ones that I know of.
I’ve seen your concrete poles in Florida. They must be termite proof as well. I bet they are some expensive.
Nope. Back in 2002 Lawrence Lindsey was fired from the White House after he claimed that a war in Iraq might cost as much as $200 billion and were promised that Iraqi oil revenue would pay for the cost of rebuilding after the war. Well, $200 billion is in the rear view mirror. We are now at close to five times that.
