How To Get A Good Electrician

A short tour around the hydro vault I’m working in. That’s the apprentice loosening off lugs in the panel. (He’s actually loosening off too many since there is only 2 500kcmil wires per bus and he’s loosening all 4 lugs, sigh, ah to be young foolish again.)

June 2008
Detroit was once the symbol of America’s industrial power; the birthplace of Ford, the embly line and the home of GM. But now it feels more like a ghost town littered with abandoned buildings.

In 1913 Detroit was booming but when the Great Depression hit, this abruptly ended. Between 2006 and 2008 four of GM’s plants in Michigan closed, and more than 15,000 are homeless in the city. “There’s no work in Michigan… all you see is vacant houses” explains one homeless resident. As industries move to areas with cheaper labour, former embly line workers and buildings are left useless.
