I'll betcha if a national poll was taken the majority of people would

The power grid isn't as big of a problem as you may think. Demand has
basically flat lined in the past several years and has actually dropped
in some. Smart grids and energy efficient devices have helped.

Not to worry. Nothing much is happening in refurbishing roads,
bridges, dams, infrastructure.

That must be a North East problem. Florida maintains it's roads
.

BTW who was talking about dams?
The environmentalists want all of them blown up anyway

On a recent trip to FL, the only 'bad' section of I-95 was through South Carolina. Most states have
done pretty well, with the interstates anyway. A couple years ago a trip to southern Utah found
great roads. The Boston beltway is a pure piece of crap.
