Unstable
Electrical Grid
Under prepared for a cat 2 or higher
hurricane and nobody seems to care.
2017 was the year that set this area into a
very displeased state of mind. Six years of
asking the county , the electric company , the
state , the forestry to all think about this
concept.
“Is it a good idea to have every single power line
smothered with interfering trees branches?”
And to nobodies surprise it all falls on deaf ears.
Somehow the electric company the very month of this
writing has that cute little 80’s disclaimer that
apparently only smart people and little kids can
understand which is “Don’t play around power lines”.
Above Photo: Evidence that W.R.E.C. knows the danger
of obstructions near power lines. Photo 2: Tangled
branches around live wires.
Not sure who taught who, but both the county
commissioners and the electric company seem to
operate under a “Do as I say and not as I do” way of
conducting business.
When you have a house to restore power or have turn
on service the electric company asks you to have the
main breaker set to OFF.
Why do they ask you to do that? It can be a fire hazard
they say.
When the public asks them to cut trees down to the
point there is no way they could fall and take down the
grid they seem to laugh.
The same inrush current when power is restored is the
same as above example for turn on service. If its a fire
hazard then , then its also a fire hazard every time the
power goes out and comes back on. You cant have it
both ways, and when your electronic devices at your
house go bad due to the dirty electricity and inrush
spikes due to interference trees don’t bother to ask
W.R.E.C. to buy you new ones.
