The US electrical grid is in desperate need of upgrades, watchdog warns
(www.engadget.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I've had 2 multiple day power outages in the Milwaukee area, and 4 or 5 shorter ones over the past few years. It literally never used to happen.
Local outages are a lot different than grid failure. But yeah local power lines are probably needing an update too.
