Then we fix the grid. good paying American jobs that cannot be outsourced. FFS if the “its not perfect” “it not ready” people were around in the 1930s-1940s the rural electrification, hover damn, TVA, Manhattan project, would never have gotten finished.

Exactly. “Security” isn’t the concern, it’s how the equipment will inevitably get abused to maximize the return on investment.

I don’t do paper maps, but do insist on seeing the destination rather than just following step by step directions. My wife does the latter and they’re wrong waaaaay too often.
