S2 E13 News in the Industry

In this episode we talk about LA's. Blake also tells us a little more history about the electrical industry. Jeremy goes over a few articles about upcoming projects and how the 49.5 billion dollars is allocated to them. Out of that 3.5 billion is to update the American infrastructure. Doesn't sound like much will get done compared to the other amounts for the other 2 projects! Between 2011 and 2021 America has experienced a 78% increase in power outages while utilities claim that they have way less outages than they have ever had. So, who is telling the truth? Fun Fact: excluding Alaska more Americans live farther north than Canadians! That is crazy to think about. Have you heard that people are trying to say that Ben Franklin did not do the whole kite and key thing? We believe he did.

This week we talked to Dustin about his journey in the electrical industry. We discuss how kids these days just seem to be soft. Dustin has worked in 46 different states. He strictly works storms now. He once did helicopter work at the Hoover Dam. In Dustin's opinion southern states are the best to work in. Jeremy challenges Blake to a climbing competition and Dustin has his money on Jeremy, since Blake asked if Amazon sells those!
