Where are transformers made? What is the stockpile in the US? If American companies can tool up to build millions of ventilators, they sure as heck can tool up to rebuild the National Grid...and when can we have our few billions back for BCHydro stolen by Enron so our power prices drop?
Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC The transformers are made in China and South America. They take 18-24 months to get on the "fast track". These are significant assets. Generally, there are no extras kept in stock. I would not doubt the ability of American manufacturing to re-tool and produce this equipment if needed, but to my knowledge, we don't currently have the ability. That said, our grid is just that. It's a redundant electric system. It may not be impenetrable, but we can get it back up and running very quickly if needed. I've spent most of my life working with electricity and our electric grid. My friends and co-workers understand how critical the service that we provide is to our community. We are your neighbors. We don't intend to let you down. A tree fell, late on a Thursday night during a storm. Wiped out the power, tore the mast off the house. We called BCHydro using the battery power from a now defunct car to cut the power. The local electricians showed up Friday afternoon, stayed until 8pm fixed everything, signed off on it, then BCHydro showed up about midnight and checked everything and the power was back on. Three cheers for you and your friends everywhere!
