Even without extreme weather events, the power grid needs love. The grid was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s with a 35- to 80-year life expectancy , meaning much of it should have been retired and replaced by now. As a result, transmission lines swell and sag and, in some cases, can topple infrastructure. .
