Electricity transformed our lives

As I pen this column, critical infrastructure across our country remains on alert after an attack on two substations in North Carolina. Those attacks cut power to tens of thousands for several days. It makes me sick to think that domestic terrorism exists in the United States of America.

It is hard to believe that less than a century ago, most of rural America did not have electricity. By 1950, more than twenty percent of farms in this country were still without power.
