Good coverage on transformer manufacturing in WSJ today. Non-standardized products, skilled labor required, very import-dependent.

U.S. transformer shortage bottleneck: 4-6 week hand-build process by skilled "winders" takes 3-5 years to master, can't be automated.

Hitachi's Virginia plant expanding but needs 800 workers in 34K-person county.

14K unit shortage for large transformers, 123K for distribution units. 80% import dependency.

Our crews stayed busy this past weekend! Thank you to all of our team members who worked safely to restore power as quickly as possible during the intense storms.

Charlie Kirk lost his life today because someone thought violence was the answer to political disagreement.

It's never the answer, and political violence has no place in our country. I'm praying for his wife and children.
