To put this in context maines ice storm 1998 destroyed oir power grid cushed hundreds of thousands acreas of forests and our grid was fully operational in a month.
They had a hurricane 4 years ago massive federal funded infrastuce expenditure and still have a many failures restoring power to island smaller than our state.
Public vs private..
No brainer
