Blackouts increasing?

The number of brownouts and blackouts across America and the total time without power are increasing all over the US.
Much of our electrical infrastructure has not been upgraded for several decades at best.
Things may continue getting worse if we don't invest in improvements and maintenance.

Luckily, in my neck of the woods, the blackout rate is down and we have started using more "smart" methods to save us from brownouts and blackouts (like smart tech to shut down air conditioner compressors when the grid is stressed).
