The U.S. is poised to see supply shortages of 30% and 10%, respectively, of power and distribution transformers this year, as surging electricity consumption drives demand for power infrastructure, Wood Mackenzie said on Thursday.

Stop sending our riches overseas. We could build up our own infrastructure. But we'd rather terrorize and murder innocents.

You poor thing. The conservatives beat you up and took your lunch money, didn't they. Is that why you're so angry all the time.

Show the doctor where the bad republican touched you.

I'm surprised Trump hasn't said it's okay to use PCBs in transformers again.

We're paying the price for having Biden's Auto-Pen run the country the last four years.

Wasn't Build Back Better by Biden supposed to fix this.
