Energy Central Celebrates National Tradesmen Day with a Look at this Year's Top Submissions on Utility Line Workers

We're excited to recognize the upcoming 'National Tradesmen Day,' a celebration held since 2011 that: "honors the men and women whose skills and hard work build America. And, their skills keep it running strong. The day recognizes the professionals who maintain the complex infrastructure of our roads, cities, water systems, and power grids."

The entire utility industry is built on the back of these on-the-ground workers who work to keep the grid humming smoothly. Given the occasion, we thought it appropriate to take a quick look back at some of the top content related to lineworkers from the past year, as we hope you all join us in celebrating #NationalTradesmenDay:
