You're right....Who was to know that the whole of America's power infrastructure (most of it decades old...) would just come crumbling down...like that bridge in Minnesota, the moment a black president took office.....Should'a known...
I'm just glad I won't see the day (nor will you, I presume) when a barrel of oil goes for $300+, and coal will be as scarce as chicken teeth, and a kwhr goes for $1.50. Someone then will maybe regret our lack of foresight in not harnessing the powers that nature could provide, when we still had the chance....
Sadly, our children and grandchildren will see that day....
I'll just go play with my trains now...
