Everyone loves a vacation. But that’s the problem: The world’s holiday destinations are bursting at the seams with visitors. Workers at the Louvre in Paris recently went on strike, saying they were suffering from exhaustion.

Nowhere is that trend more tangible than at GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions factory in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a sprawling 332,000-square-foot facility that has been making high-voltage instrument transformers and high-voltage circuit breakers, key components of the electric grid for more than three decades.
