Beam me up, Mr. Scott.

The power grid, oh what a wonderful grid it is.  A spider web of wires that cross throughout the countries of the world without any real direction, areas that have triple coverage where if a source blows another can switch to it, while others are barely staying up with paperclips supplying the circuitry.  What a travesty to behold, the worldwide power grid, the grid that is basically decaying each year with wires hung high, as the wind and rain passes by.  Constantly out, constantly down, always a maintenance problem that in our money it dost drown… It is time for a better system, a better grid, a better electrical system to meet the new needs of this new world I will create…  Come to think of the grid, the grid is an ineffective spider web that has been left to become cobbed and dobbed in the drabble that is today.

Ever wonder why they need to shut down your power every time they work on a transformer coming into the grid around you?  Why can’t they reroute power another way and avoid the blackout of a whole area on a hot summer day?  Why must they sacrifice an entire area of power to replace one measly transformer?  The power gird.  With a proper power grid the incoming source of electricity can be routed through various redundant systems.  Along with that it can be made to work in a way that will not sacrifice power of one area during repair, rather power will be shut off to just that transformer or electrical component until it is repaired.  Of course there is always the chance of a dual failure when it comes to power, and the grid coming from just one centralized power location can seem like it is putting all the eggs in one basket as it were.  Well how would we fix it?  How would we keep enough redundancies in case of an all out failure? How would power stay online from just one source without a total blackout of everyone using that source?  I will address each and every one of these concerns.

Before we begin let us look back at the Transportation volume of the Electric Future - the thousand reactor part, well ten thousand actually.  How would we maintain all that juice flowing through the entire world and throughout? The best prime example of power coming into play every day - the United States - will be used.  It would be a difficult and sometimes precarious juggling act during construction, but I am confidant we can have half the nukes online within three years of construction - I’ll employ million if I have to in three shifts non stop using the hardest tactics available.  I have no fear of anyone knowing how to build a reactor, it is knowledge everyone will posses eventually - and I intend to rule the entire world, so anyone trying to build a nuke to thwart my rule would be swiftly handled.  In Nevada the North American power station would be built in Nevada, ten thousand reactors, millions will be employed to do it make it a reality within five years if possible, although I’d like to have a thousand online within a year of the beginning.  Resources and manpower will be thrown into this - some say it is impossible to do something that quickly.  I say balderdash; it can be done by having non-stop working, all materials needed at all times, and the absolute discipline needed.  Of course building the reactor and cooling towers will be the easy part - when the plant comes online I will need technicians for it - thus an express learning system fully funded will present itself in a military boot camp-like training style.  I will have this in the time I want, no expense will be spared.
