Utility Company Conservative about Upgrading Infrastructure

How many hundreds of poles do you have to replace every year due to storms, how much does cost to the taxpayers that over 20 years. Every year for decades every major city in the United States has to endure down power lines that results with the lack of heating and electricity, and other utilities from storms. Our government thinks only in short term rather than long term investment to our infrastructure system. They don't understand how embracing new technologies will enhance the lifestyle and productivity of all Americans. The storm activity will get worse every year due to high Solar flares and climate change. How many more Katrina and Sandy type storms will it take for action to be implemented? People care more about not having power outages every year as we have experienced than a few more cents for electricity. Maybe an investment in solar, wind, and geothermal power along with nuclear is a partial solution. Thumper detection technology for detecting underground fault

P.U.U.N. - Put Utilities Underground Now - Part II

Now that Sandy has come shore there are millions without power because our government utilities haven't learned from the past storms. We have to demand our cities and states bailout our infrastructure with putting Electricity, Cable, Internet, and telephone lines underground. It will cost billions but I rather see it spend on the above instead of Wall Street, Car Companies, or Insurance companies. Our government doesn't realize that our defense of our infrastructure is a national defense priority. People who are hit by these storms would have power, water, and cable if ALL utilities are put underground. Write to your congressman and senators and express you being fed-up with this ignoring of our civil rights. We pay taxes, we pay high utility bills, we pay high cable, and telephone bills. Why then isn't the money spent to reduce the overhead of all of these be providing reliable utilities in any weather. Why are cities getting flooding? We don't spend money to update an

P.U.U.N. - Put Utilities Underground Now - Part I

P.U.U.N. - Put Utilities Underground Now - For millions of years it has snowed in New England and every year it is summer with ever increasing average world temperatures. There are power outages every year due to the lack of long term infrastructure planning. Bureaucrats and utility companies think in the short-term about saving a few dollars with overhead lines, that come down every time there is a thunder storm or cold snap somewhere in the United States.We have to develop a permanent solution to this annual problem. People die, and suffer every winter from freezing to death due to power outages from blizzards and in the summer from sweltering heat due to old transformers overheating, and from monsoon type storms that cause trees to fall on power lines, every year. We have to remove the unsightly power line poles, cable, phone, utility lines, and Internet lines overhead. This project would employ millions of power and restore peoples faith in maintaining a reliable power, water, and

Power lines NOT Underground? Long Term Neglect of Aging Infrastructure effects millions!

People paid the high price of neglect at Utility lines not being put underground years ago when property taxes were at an all time high. State and Utility Companies gambled and Lost at the home owners suffering and expense. People paid the high price of neglect at Utility lines not being put underground years ago when property taxes were at an all time high. State and Utility Companies gambled and Lost at the home owners suffering and expense. My wife and dogs are freezing in our house. We are moving away from New England! I used to have 100 gallon tank with fish, They are all dead thanks to state neglect! No power, no phone, no internet, no television, no ability to cook or preserve food. Your time has run out in putting all power lines underground as in many states. We have had to pay for your lack of vision, your bean counter must be proud of themselves. I as a paying customer think is long overdue to have all power lines in the state eventually be put underground in ins

Solutions to Congress -- They need to make sacrifices as well

WE as a people are not being heard by the people. WE the people feel the, WE the corporations by the Corporations so help us God, is who is represented in Washington. Mandate ALL contributions to Senators and Congressmen be diverted to charities. Have S & C have a fixed salary of their $150K with the same medical and dental as all Americans and only social security to retire. How many of the 400 home in New Orleans are still not replaced or rebuild!? Why did it takes 5 days to get water to the Super Dome in New Orleans!? Why is there no moratorium on outsourcing and removal of oil from the stock exchange? Demand all those companies including Wall Street, the Insurance companies pay back all the monies they received and to lower all interest rates on loans, and ease personal loans. We pay over $2 billion a day in interest on the national debt. REVERSE OUTSOURCING,with a 12 year moratorium on outsourcing and reduce H1V Visas, give tax incentives for those business's th

Insourcing American Manufacturing back to America

Employment contracts are obsolete in today's economy. We have strifed for forty years for better working conditions, unions, various labor acts only to have it all superfluous with the outsourcing of manufacturing overseas with no support of the federal government. All our unions are useless because they are being slowly eliminated today and there are no international labor laws or labor acts passed by the United Nations that if they did exist are enforceable. We need a ten year moratorium on outsourcing with a tax incentive to in source the return of manufacturing jobs, and become competitive with other nations by spending billions to lower the cost of energy needed to manufacture everything from clothing, furniture, cars, boats, and airplanes. If we had solar energy on every roof top and business in the united states with today's super efficient solar cells and a thousand water desalination plants, the cost of manufacturing all goods would be so much less, even with higher w

Wind and Nuclear Energy Today

Nuclear Energy is fission and nuclear fusion. We have been using nuclear fission reactors for over fifty years. We had some horribly poor designs including the one in Chernobyl. We had problems disposing of nuclear waste. Today's design's of nuclear energy are like the difference between computers in the 1960's and computer's today. I believe that much of our energy's needs can be met with nuclear energy, because it is clean and we now have ways to reprocess 95% of all nuclear material for reuse in reactors. What is left is reprocessed into glass and is going to be put in Yuca Flats down almost a mile into descending fault lines. Nuclear fusion is the future of long term energy needs. France is a 100% nuclear nation and has never had a nuclear accident. The NIF program that I worked on over ten years ago is being used today for using lasers to produce nuclear fusion. Cold fusion is a long ways away but still possible for energy use. With the inconsistent power gene
