U.S. Mail was first delivered by horseback, then stage coach and now windmills to deliver electricity for battery operated postal delivery vehicles. Don’t count on regular delivery of mail if wind stops.
As the potential collapse of the United States Postal Service looms on the horizon, one Senate Democrat has proposed an unusual plan to solve the crisis.
Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) looks to harvest the electricity that windmill farms produce in order to power a new fleet of battery-operated postal delivery vehicles, replacing the previous ’25 to 30 years old’ ‘dilapidated’ vehicles.
The Senator admits the idea is “out there†but concludes that “we need to be thinking boldly, and the postal service needs to do that”.
