It isn't, which is why to convey that meaning you had to write something completely different from what I wrote and put it in quotes, instead of actually quoting my comment.

If anyone else is curious as to how publicly-owned power might help with this I would be happy to explain it at some point when I actually have power, but I have no interest in explaining it to you because in my experience people who come out the gate with a straw man argument are a complete waste of time to talk to.

Really? Are you an engineer who knows all there is to know about power reliability? Or are you Seth Berry or one of his minions?

No, obviously not, but it might improve service when power goes out, or allow us to invest in putting lines underground in spots where the wires get taken out frequently.
