      Service? Who’s talking about servicing live wires? You do realize that these are very complex systems with tons of safeguards, right?

        Service? Who’s talking about servicing live wires?

        What conversation did you think we were having? Why do you think the utilities in OP are discussing “the safety of our linemen”? Why do you think backfeeding to a downed electrical grid is a problem?

        You do realize that these are very complex systems with tons of safeguards, right?

        You do realize that none of those safeguards protect linemen from live wires, right? That’s why we have laws and permits that regulate systems capable of backfeeding power to the grid.
