There is no law of nature that says that the pace of US infrastructure improvements should be like that. It's a matter of policy. The US has built impressive projects before at a staggering rate, and they could do so in the future. (currently China is doing the same but on a larger scale. It shows it is possible if you have the political will)
When people say that the power "could" be sent elsewhere, they are right, you just need to build the damn transmission lines. It's not rocket science.

- littlestymaar 3y agoSure, but Polish and Baltic people would be ruled by a Russian speaking puppet leader by now…
- hmottestad 3y agoI think that “just need to” can be said about a lot of things. And even space x can build rockets, it’s not exactly brain surgery!
