Oh I understand but trust me I only ever voted republican ever in my life I will never support someone who doesn’t respect the second amendment

Oh, YOU’RE one of those?

The profit seeking capitalists you hate over at eversource would do it if it was cheaper you dunce

Lakes region here in Maine around Sebago, Moose pond and Long Lake was complete white out around dinner last night but only got 3 inches. Trees down everywhere but much to do about what amounted to nothing

Makes me wish I still lived in VT on 108 by Smuggs. Must have been a hell of a Powder day.

That's fair.

We’re a couple miles north of you on the other side of 202.

Also, the Fn lines are ugly and they ruin some of the best views everywhere.

Slimy, maybe?? I am recalling all the heating and air conditioning technicians who refused my calls to quote on installing a heat pump. I mean, it's heating but different, sooo...signs point to an indifference to learning something different

Because all the old new Englanders are on fixed incomes. Nobody can afford to fund public schools in rural parts of this state. Quite frankly nobody wants to pay for anything we like it the way it’s always been. Progress is a woke liberal idea. Lol

no they don't, not saying they couldn't learn, they would much rather sit in their trucks watching over the ditch diggers, then work on the lines. wich is what they do now.

We used to. I remember getting a month plus of awesome sledding in every day in the side hill field at my parents place with my flexible Flyer sled. My sister and I would have to crawl our way up the hill but it was so worth it. Didn’t come in until it got too dark.

Tell that to the homeowner that had his lawn ripped up 4x to fix 4 different main line faults before grid replaced the entire run. ripping up his lawn a 5th

They are very much different. the cables on poles wouldn't last a year in the ground, cold, moisture, corrosion (like 8 types of it)

Those pipes will never bee leak proof so conduits with water in them is common and expected.

​

SO i see a dieefernt current/voltage/amperage would be needed and the runs can't be overly long.

Imagine if we had a real winter. This one was nothing.

Live in Milton, not Melton.

Yeah, my town has a large recycling dumpster that you put all numbers of plastic, glass and aluminum into. What are the chances any of it is actually getting recycled?

As bad as putting plastic in a landfill is, doesn’t it serve as a carbon sink? Wouldn’t converting the plastic to diesel, then burning the diesel re-release the carbon back into the atmosphere, not to mention any other pollutants in the plastic?

Now you are putting words in his mouth…granted, they are words he said and this is exactly what he meant by them but where do you get off making an observation?!

“Housing communities” like are mentioned in the fema article are a bit different than thousands of miles of lines, wouldn’t you say?

You don't think construction or electrician unions have the skillset to dig trenches and lay wire?

"Why do people want to practice a skill?"

Yeah real mystery for the ages, that one.

I looked into it a little more and it appears you’re right. I’m a physics major graduating in May and I would say despite taking 2 semesters of electricity and magnetism, electricity is also magic to me.

We are up the hill from the hospital

Must be on a snow drift. We’re at a higher elevation in Peterborough and got 33 inches. Most seem to be in the 30-35 inch range. 42 inches is way beyond a standard deviation for the area.
