Our power grid is out 3x as long as Florida's.

The PSC was asked to set pole standards seven years ago. They closed the docket instead.

I'm an engineer and former LPSC consultant. I built ServiceMyPole.org as a citizen-driven accountability tool based on the 18-point standards the LPSC's own consultants recommended. Upload a pole photo, get a 1-to-10 condition score. The worst poles go on a public leaderboard.

The utilities don't want to spend money to fix it. They make money building new infrastructure, not maintaining what's there. The PSC sets the rules and could change that. They haven't.

ServiceMyPole.org is a real site where you can go and submit pictures of terrible poles. Check it out!
