The frequency of power outages in the USA reflects the country's social structure as much as it does its climate:

>> According to one analysis, the United States has more power outages than any other developed country...Most Americans—about 68 percent—obtain their electricity through distribution systems managed by investor-owned utilities. By nature, an investor-owned utility is beholden to both its customers and its shareholders, and while customers may prioritize reliable power requiring expensive new equipment, shareholders are generally interested in profit. <<
