If we build more power plants and update the infrastructure, there would be fewer blackouts. I know I’m no expert in national power grids, but I think it would work.
Yes, this might introduce a slight increase of possibility that something could poison the striped mustard rat, but given the choice between that and old people dying because their AC went out, I know which I would choose. Also, the cost of these new plants might cut into the money to spend on the new multicultural center for black jewish nazis, or the new football stadium, but if occasionally municipalities did something to enhance the lives of everyone and not just the special interests currently throwing money at them it might help everyone’s re-election efforts.
