re: Electric supply chain .. is there enough product to replace all that will need replacing??

My brother just left his job as a lineman to do something administrative ... he'll be back out there I'm guessing on a pole. They've been treated like dirt in some places and kings in others.

Last year we drove around our little town offering snacks, drinks, food to the linemen we saw .. no one would take it. Said they were well stocked and I want to say "covid" regulations. I did however feel better about trying.
