Chapter 581 Reorganization of the Electric Power Company

"The wildfires in California have exposed a lot of deficiencies of the government, especially the emergency rescue agency is useless, a waste agency, and it doesn't do anything with the budget every year, and there is such a big fire in California, so I just watch it burn, so I think the federal emergency relief agency can close its doors, since there is no use to keep it for anything, the state does not raise waste, and the people's taxes do not raise waste.

The southern government has set up its own emergency rescue department, which divides the country's 25 prefectures into 25 districts, with emergency rescue bureaus in each district and emergency rescue sub-bureaus in each city, uniting the military, firefighting, police, medical, biochemical, and civil rescue organizations...... and other departments to carry out unified guidance, rescue, and post-disaster reconstruction work for natural disasters and safety accidents.

The Ministry of Emergency Relief is administered by the State Council, with ministers appointed by the State Council, state directors appointed by the state councils and sub-directors appointed by the city councils. ”

"Yes. ”

Dani quickly jotted down John's orders in her little notebook, and when the fire was extinguished, Dani came from New York to attend the meeting.

"Another point is the problem of fire protection, even the fire fighting is smashed, I don't know why the people want such a government, why do they pay taxes? If I were a citizen, I would not give you a copper plate.

As soon as the Los Angeles wildfires came, the fire company became an auction company, and whoever bid the highest bid helped put out the fire, and those who could not afford to pay could only watch their houses burned down, and the rich stars kept their villas, but 3,000 families are now homeless.

If you can save a little, not to mention that a fire station can afford to raise ten, a cup of coffee for $15, a biscuit for $5, and millions of dollars for a bureau's annual meeting, won't your conscience hurt if you waste people's fat and anointment like this?"

There are very few cases of corruption in the U.S. government, but it is too wasteful, the Department of Justice holds a small meeting, and the mixed snacks are enough for a family to live for a few days, a cup of coffee for $15, a cookie for $5 for $5, a box of cakes for $50 and $13 a piece, and everyone has to eat $78 at the beginning of the meeting, and the Justice Department doesn't know how many meetings a day like this will be held, and the snacks for a meeting alone cost millions of dollars a year.

The Pentagon is even more ruthless, and even the king crab has been made, which shows how extravagant and wasteful it is.

According to the audit investigation team report, billions of dollars are wasted annually by various departments of the U.S. government.

Now it is much better with the Integrity and Discipline Supervision Committee, the snacks for meetings have been cancelled, the uniform cost of coffee drinks and lunches has been reduced, the bus has been restricted, and even the electricity and heating of office buildings are now strictly regulated.

"Counties, counties, cities, and towns must set up fire bureaus as soon as possible, and fire bureaus are to be formed and managed by the state's National Guard.

The fire department should vigorously raise the public's awareness of fire prevention, carry out strict fire inspection and supervision and management of enterprises and factories, and impose heavy penalties on enterprises and factories with fire hazards. ”

"Yes. ”

Dani said and wrote it down in her notebook.

"Although this fire was caused by the aging power company's lines, I don't know what the Forest Service does to eat, California fires every year, of course, there are climatic reasons, but the main responsibility is the weak awareness of fire prevention, not caring at all.

There was not a single cistern, and the firebreak was never seen. You can't do anything when the wildfire comes, so why don't you just watch it burn!

I have to cut out the forest fire, build the reservoir for me, and build a fire hydrant and a fire tower for me. ”

The fire tower is like a water tower, but it is not as thick as the water tower, only one meter in diameter and 20 meters high, there are several high-pressure fire pipes in it, which can spray water to a distance of 100 meters, build one every 100 meters, form a row, build a row every two kilometers, just like a chessboard to form a grid of protective fire belts, once a fire is encountered, these fire towers can continue to spray water, extinguish the fire, even if it is not extinguished, a steady stream of water can also control the fire source within the range of two kilometers in length and width, so as not to spread and expand, and can also spray water to the forest to cool down during the drought and high temperature period。

It's just a bit expensive, and it takes billions of dollars.

However, compared with the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in a month in a row, this investment is nothing.

"How to deal with the affected people?" After the rescue, firefighting, and prevention work was handled, John then asked about the resettlement of the affected people.

"We have set up temporary shelters, and we will have the relevant authorities follow up with the relevant authorities for people whose families are in difficulty after the fire is over. Clinton said.

"The houses burned down were ordinary families, and the compensation from the power company was distributed to the victims as soon as possible to help them rebuild their homes and not let them go hungry and freeze. Burnt forests are cleared as soon as possible and trees are replanted. John said.

"Okay. Clinton nodded.

"Dani, connect with the city government to see how much money the power company needs to compensate the people, and then hand over the money from Morgan Bank to the city government, so that the people can get the money as soon as possible and rebuild their homes. "The power company belongs to the Morgan family, so the loss of money is naturally paid by the Morgan family, the power company is about to go bankrupt, how can there be money to compensate the people.

"Yes, I'll do it as soon as the meeting is over. Dani said.

Immediately after the meeting, John summoned the heads of all the Morgan's electric power companies to the Purple Star Manor for a meeting.

The Morgan family contacted the industry from finance, and the first transaction was the power company, and the Morgan family was very optimistic about the power industry, so it has been investing all these years, and now almost monopolizes the American power company, the largest of which is General Electric.

John hadn't paid much attention to the power company before, and it wasn't until the wildfires in California that John noticed it, and this attention made John find a lot of problems, the most important thing is that due to competition, overlapping businesses, and high investment costs, the profits of various power companies are too low, and one General Electric can have a turnover of more than $10 billion a year in electricity.

The power company has no money, and it will make people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it, but this is the case, the power companies in the rabbit country make money because they are all state-owned enterprises, and the business does not overlap, and there are nearly 500 power companies in the United States, large and small, with serious business overlap, fierce competition, and small natural investment.

"I decided to divide the power companies into two categories, one for generating electricity and one for transmitting electricity.

All the companies that generate electricity are merged to form the American Power Group.

The companies that transmit the electricity have all merged to form the American Power Grid Group. ”

John merged his more than 400 power grid companies, large and small, into two companies, one for power generation and one for power transmission, so that there is no waste of investment, overlapping business, and vicious competition.

"The president of American Power is Roy Clifft.

The President of the American Power Grid Group is Steen Nelson.

I hope that the two of you will integrate the scattered and broken power grid enterprises as soon as possible and establish a unified power grid. ”

One of them is the president of General Energy, and the other is a vice president, both of whom are very familiar with power work, and GE Energy is not bad under their management, so John handed over the two companies to the two.

"It's the boss!"

Steen Nelson and Roy Clift both said in unison, and they were both a little overjoyed when they were suddenly promoted.
