From the various figures I've seen bandied about on the rise in U.S. electricity usage over the last 10 years ~ up 30% to 35%, but capacity only going up 15%, that says one thing to me ~ chronic under investment.
Sadly, the only thing that the billions of dollars needed, are likely to be spent on, will be litigation, and not infrastructure.
The U.S. has got to decide whether the lawyers benefit, or the consumers and the grid network benefit!
