President Joe Biden announced Monday a $1.3 billion federal investment to build three new interstate power lines in an effort to upgrade the United States’ outdated electric grid and transition it to clean energy.
The electric transmission lines will cross through six states: Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Utah and Vermont.

that’s 🔥
Bankrupting America’s future by investing in it. Classic Biden. I bet that investment doesn’t even begin to shield U.S. electrical systems from a potentially catastrophic Carrington event. How is it modernizing anything if it can leave us in the stone age?
That’s why you should vote for literally anything else.
I bet that investment doesn’t even begin to shield U.S. electrical systems from a potentially catastrophic Carrington event.
Why invest in anything if it won’t survive the inevitable heat death of the universe, while we’re at it?
That’s why you should vote for literally anything else.
Hello, Trump voter.
Bankrupting America’s future by investing in it.
This is sarcasm gang. I’d put money on it.
Thank you!
Could you elaborate and explain how anything you said makes sense?
They’re suggesting that we shouldn’t bother upgrading the power grid unless it can stand up to the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history. 🙄
Reading what I wrote in your words is just as hilarious to me as writing it. That’s good stuff
If it doesn’t stand up to a Carrington EVENT, why not VOTE TRAUMEP??
If you were trying for sarcasm you tripped over Poe’s Law.
If it doesn’t even begin, then it sounds long overdue.
And I bet people like you are the reason it’s still not enough.
No, it’s the military industrial complex.
There is frankly not enough money to fund the massive MIC and also rebuild the crumbling infrastructure in the US.
The only way I see an actual update happening is if it’s billed as a national defense upgrade.
At this point, it’s kinda pretty justifiable as a national defense upgrade. Can’t build rockets if the rocket factories don’t have power
Having a more robust electrical grid is clearly aligned with the interests of the military industrial complex. A lot of investment in infrastructure also serves the interests of national security.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
