Our neighborhood in Spring TX just had these installed last year. All held up great during Beryl, however, the cause of the outages in our neighborhood was not snapped / downed poles but large old trees inside the easement line that fell on distribution lines. These poles will be useless in Houston where we love our overgrown pine / oak trees. I smell concurrent fines coming to homeowners to compensate for this shortcoming.
Correct, I live on a corner lot and I have a (wooden) powerpole in my backyard which I can tell feeds the entire block. If I dont keep that area trimmed up, I can assure you I easily have "control" over the rest of the blocks power should I neglect the growth in that area.
No need for an investigation. It's all public knowledge. Everything is working as you would expect. _CenterPoint Energy's Political Action Committee (PAC) makes contributions to various political candidates and committees. For the 2023-2024 period, their contributions have been predominantly directed towards Republican candidates and committees - according to OpenSecrets & the Federal Election Commission._ Top Donor: David Lesar, former CEO of Halliburton and former CPA for Arthur Anderson Top Recipients (tied): The Mayor of Houston - JOHN WHITMIRE CAMPAIGN among several others
Buying the lines is what they should be doing. Not putting up more outdated infrastructure. Also, adding more redundancy. Very often only a single line feeds a neighborhood or even large shopping centers.
So its the people that suffered and now the people that will pay. While centerpoint doing interviews in a black log sleeve cuz his office little chilly con queso
The question is does it make financial sense??? If it's going to cost us an arm and a leg to pay our electric bill. Sounds very questionable need more proof

Were you near Kuykendahl and Cypresswood? It was a huge tree that took out lines.
@@kenxclout it was the Northwood park area on 2920 and Falvel.

Old technology-- electric wires out in the open.
The question is does it make financial sense??? If it's going to cost us an arm and a leg to pay our electric bill. Sounds very questionable need more proof
