This my friends is a very interesting topic.

As we all know all storm repairs to infrastructure is passed directly onto the customer. Honestly it feels like I've been paying storm repair on my electric bill since Katrina and I've lived in 3 different south LA cities since then.

I think we should all contact our PCSs and get them to audit the shite out of what the electric companies are doing with these repairs. I mean shite are we putting up the same god damn poles that 100 mph wind just knocked down? If so why...if it is the best we can do then so be it, but I expect that it's not.

Before we talk about spending 10 of billions (maybe even eclipsing 100 billion in Louisiana) to bury lines we need to consider if we are getting the best repair for our buck of existing infrastructure.
