Preparing power lines for storms 'works' - Bidenpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 30 August 2023
Biden says the government spent hundreds of millions of dollars during the Obama-Biden presidency to put power lines underground and replace wooden poles with steel ones in Florida, making the power network less susceptible to extreme weather.
"I wonder what would have happened now, if we didn't?", he adds.
He says this type of action "costs a lot of money but it works" and that it saves money in the long run.
