Billy Lang is a commercial truck driver, medic, tree-trimmer, pole-climber, high-wire engineer, and whatever else it takes to keep the lights on.
Lang, 33, of New Milford, Connecticut, is a Class B Journeyman Lineman, one of about 120,000 who tend 450,000 miles of powerlines, 180 million utility poles, and 2.7 million transmission towers across the United States, according to the Department of Energy.
“It’s a great job if you don’t mind working outside and are comfortable with heights,” he said.
With electricity demand expected to increase by about a third in the coming decade, at least 20,000 more young linemen like Billy Lang are needed to build out the grid and upgrade outdated power lines in virtually every town and neighborhood nationwide, the Department of Energy projects.
It’s hard work, requires extensive training, but pays well. The median 2023 annual salary for linemen was $80,000, about $41.50 an hour, not including overtime and emergency responses, according to Lineman Central, a Texas-based online “portal for connecting” prospective electrical workers with more than 190 training programs that 180 utilities and contractors nationwide tap into for new hires.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Important: Our sponsors at Jase are now offering emergency preparedness subscription medications on top of the long-term storage antibiotics they offer. Use promo code “Rucker10” at checkout!
