        Maybe @realDonaldTrump can fix this by throwing some paper towels at them.

        Maybe this debunks the excuse that Puerto Rico’s electric infrastructure was just bad. If you get hit by a high category hurricane, it just doesn’t matter what you start with.

        It took months for Puerto Rico and in some cases a year. The thing is that Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water, a lot of water. Just saying!

        Well, if they are Republicans they should be stoked about being without power. Who needs big government electricity, right?

        This may sound stupid and I am not an expert but maybe the majority of the power grid should be underground. Does that make sense?

        Underground ? Maybe but can’t guarantee how safe that is .

        I know. We have a lot of it in California but we don’t have severe weather. Just fires, mudslides and an occasional earthquake. I wonder if it might not be feasible from an economic standpoint.

        Fire, mudslides and earthquakes are enough reasons to put them above and not below, but new innovations everyday, let just hope for the best.

        The areas we have underground are planned communities. Fire and mudslides probably wouldn’t affect them but a big earthquake might. Not sure.

        I think earthquake is enough reason not to and Moreover it a line, it easier to sort out in the open, low on maintenance risk .

        I have a nephew in the power grid business on the East Coast. Think I’ll see what his thoughts are.
