Actually, Ontario's excess electricity has always been sold to Michigan and New York cheaper than we could have produced it. It wasn't a failure to build.
Every Republican president then you have had has completely failed the American people and their need for more developed infrastructure and education. Yet you keep putting these idiots in office. At a certain point you stop feeling bad.
There’s this very, I mean VERY common thread that at every roadblock for progress in recent history, republicans have stood in the way like a fucking cancer.
"Rely" isn't the right word here. We don't rely on it, we use it. But if they shut it off, it's not like we'd just fall into the stone age, we'd just shift to the US grid. Don't be so dramatic.
Even tiny towns in Michigan have hydroelectric plants. Check out Sault, MI or Marquette, MI. They're in the yoop and still have plants. Do you really think Canada is the only great lakes resident using the lakes?
The northeast has no large hydro dams, insufficient nuclear power or coal. With no massive source, there is no electricity. Drawing from other American sources? They are already at their limits.
That is also false. The hydro plant in my home town has only been using 2 of 5 generators for more than a decade. Not even operating at half capacity. Stop getting your "news" on social media.
There are hydo electric plants all over Michigan. Even in tiny towns. Like marquette and sault ste marie in the yoop. We are surrounded by water. Do you think Canada is the only one to use it?
Everything that is WRONG in America can be traced directly to Republican greed, racism, lies, authoritarianism, cowardice, power-grabbing, and scumfuckery.
Maybe if Washington had it’s act together they would’ve had a master plan ensuring out infrastructure was in order and not worrying about the color of your skim and or what’s behind your zipper or your closed doors.

Oh and to clear my head I just walked on the beach where this picture was taken (Burlington/Hamilton Beach on Lake Ontario)
Without standards for electrical equipment the generators could blow up
He worried about the power grid up and down the east coast.
My dad would have thanked you for this post. 🔌
Americans don’t deserve Canadian power!
Fuck Trump!
