Bingo. 30 days to reconstruct a massive power grid sounds like a miracle to me. Nothing peeves me more than some technically illiterate pantywaist gas bag whining that the real men and women who put the world back together just aren’t serving him fast enough.
Agreed—I am thinking about tropical storms and hurricanes that knocked out power lines here in New England over past decades.
We did not have transmission lines knocked over—and it still took a couple of weeks for more power to be restored after a major storm.
I would be impressed if they just replaced the major transmission lines in thirty days—and then it would probably take a few weeks after that to work their way through the rest of the system.
My armchair estimate—six week range to get 90% of customers back on line...
I was a shipboard electrician in the Navy. Electricity is incredibly dangerous. And the power in the transmission lines is not your 115VAC house voltage either. The slightest error on these power lines and people are dead.
Let’s see the Guv’ner rush the job himself. I’d pay to see it.
