Unexpected high-tech: Helicopter cuts tree limbs with a giant saw to bring you electricity

The average American doesn't know even one percent of what it takes to keep a modern, complex society running.  And the average liberal knows far less.  They think electricity comes from a slot in walls, water magically exists behind your faucet, food comes from the store...you get it.

As one of an infinite number of examples of things you never imagined some company has to do to keep your lights on, consider the following video:  It shows a helicopter cutting tree limbs with a 30-foot-long power-saw.

They have to do that because if a limb gets too close to a high-voltage powerline, the line will arc to the limb, shorting the line and killing its power to whatever city it supplies.



Doing this is both expensive and dangerous--but it's the only way to ensure that electricity is always there for consumers.  And you can't even begin to imagine the lengths companies will go to to ensure you have oil, gasoline and natural gas to heat your homes.

This is just one more example of why things are far, far better in the U.S. (and other free nations) than in socialist shitholes.  Keep this in mind when some Democrat political candidate tells you that what the U.S. needs is...socialism!
