PPL put his country into the right direction by looking into the future and come up with ideas that makes sense...

this country is so far behind (25y to 30y or more) any other country that i visited in the last few years.

PPL WE LOSING THE GROUND...STOP INVESTING MY MONEY INTO AHOLE OF 0 IDEAS..but alot money for the rich (hellooo..500bl Bush--700bl Obama...all $ GONE)

but no go ahead and be patriotic yeahhhhhh..buy-consume- watch PORN.

ok i got it put everth underground would cost alot money blabla but if u do the math and think about how many times did the storm wracked a whole city in the last 50y over and over again, then is time to rethink the strategy...instead investing our money into countrys where those ppl want to kills us, AND/or helping them to BUILD A BRANDNEW INFRASTRUCTURE with underground planting and investing BL of our money we should look in the mirror and stop being a selfish ignorant lil brats.

An7onee what are you whinning about? Why do you not have a generator for days like this?

Storms happen. It's up to you to prepare.

We spend so much money in infrasture due to trees on power lines. Either plant them underground or mandate that no trees may be within 50 yards of either side of any power line. People wont like it but they dont like when they have no power cause grandpa;s 200 yr old tree fell. We are in the 21st century and still have not learned a lesson.

So he's talking in a cool AC controlled room about bla bla bla...

Meantime maybe more or less millions of ppl have NO electricity..

I feel like in Africa or Russia but even there they know how to deal with outages faster.. Unf we live in society where the media tells u to calm down stay cool consume pay bills and go shopping..do not get mad or upset.

Wh the F happened to this country..

What a lazy and Super SELFISH country this is now...USA ..."Top of the world"..???? Ha

Look at Asia or Euro
