"My life was changed in an instant," mourned a woman who lost her family and her home when a gas main exploded.
Infrastructure is the word used to describe those things necessary for modern life, which we tend to take for granted. Infrastructure is roads, bridges, electric transmission lines, gas lines, levies; the things that have been around our entire lives and have always worked.
But NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
We need to replace many of the things our grandparents installed and/or built. Bridges are falling down, gas lines are exploding and levies are failing because we are NOT REPLACING our aging infrastructure.
PG&E asks for a rate increase to pay for upgrading aging gas lines and we fuss about our utility bills.
Government asks for a tax increase to pay for upgrading aging bridges and levies and we fuss about socialism.
Please do not let it be my family next time.
