Here’s the latest Nashville OutRage map. Fortunately, the weather has warmed. We might learn exactly how many list their lives because of the gross negligence. #NES #Nashville

Spent the morning with the TN National Guard clearing downed trees across Nashville, so NES crews can access power lines. These men & women put the Volunteer spirit into action every day. Grateful for their efforts to assist local line workers in restoring power.

Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, said Nashville Electric Service’s (NES) response to outages caused by Winter Storm Fern is an “embarrassment” at every level of leadership within the utility. https://t.co/oOOe3ojtZr

🚨#BREAKING: My friend, @DataRepublican has just uncovered that hundreds of people who have been supporting the anti-ICE groups in North Carolina... ...ARE TEACHERS, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND EVEN MAYORS OF MAJOR CITIES WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!!!!!!!!
From @bitchuneedsoap : meet the people behind the anti-ICE groups in North Carolina. Other people use OpenClaw to LARP on social media sites. We've been building COINTELPRO AGI the past week.

By failing to properly prepare for Winter Storm Fern, @NESpower put Tennesseans in harm’s way. NES owes its customers transparency, accountability, and a clear explanation for why thousands of people remain without power. I’m demanding answers to ensure this can’t happen again.

The linemen who are on the ground making repairs and working in the frigid temperatures to restore power are the unsung heroes of the response to this horrible winter storm. So grateful for these men and women.

Because Nashville is surrounded by other utilities that had the same weather disaster but all handled it far better, we have a control group. No, it wasn't the weather - it was the pure incompetence. Both the tree trimming preventative maintenance, and the operational response 1/
@PUREKIN0 @SaysSimulation NES was the only utility in the area to suffer outages at this scale. Worse funded utilities in rural areas had a fraction of the outages. Per https://t.co/Fz0lUg3oNo NES is currently responsible for 99% of current outages in the entire Middle Tennessee region.

Just acknowledge that NES failed in a critical area. I’ve lived in Oak Hill and Green Hills for the past 20 years, and I’ve personally witnessed the decline in tree-line maintenance over the past 5 years. The conditions were a mess before the ice storm, and that neglect clearly
The CEO of @NESpower saying “I don’t want us out destroying the canopy.” Thanks to her “not destroying the canopy” we’ve been out of power for 8 days straight, and an ice storm completely obliterated “the canopy.”

Amen.
.@NESpower’s response to my letter is entirely insufficient. The company refused to take any accountability and is forcing Tennesseans to wait another week for full restoration of power. This is unacceptable. Whoever is responsible for this breakdown should be fired.
