I live a half hour from downtown Chicago and I can’t even get DSL service. Just good ol’ 130 year old analog phone technology.

DTE eliminated 50% of it’s linesmen in MI a couple of years ago. AT&T leases pole use. Poles are rotted out— +50 years old. The entire system is decrepit

Good piece as far as it went, but the really dense energy source is Nuclear. I think Mr. Sandorff is correct about hydrocarbons for mobile applications,(trains,boats,planes,etc.) but Nuclear is very well suited to power our electrical grid. I hope we do not lose sight of that.

Post, you CAN get DSL equivalent service; you just aren’t willing to pay for it. There are satellite ISPs and cllular plans, but they are relatively costly.
