Alabama Power Outage Sparks Questions: Is a Major Utility Using a "Weather Crisis" to Mask a Multimillion-Dollar Maintenance Failure?

The temperature barely dropped below freezing, yet we're seeing cascading failures that neighboring states handled with ease. Who truly benefits from this widespread disruption? Could a federal investigation be the next step to expose whether "preventive maintenance" was sacrificed for profit?
