When line workers restore power, they give priority to the lines that will get the most people back in service as quickly as possible. Ever wonder how they do it? Take a look!
good question for the relative low voltage distribution networks in towns and cities, but once you get into super-high voltages necessary for "power grid" national transmission it can't be underground because the transmission power losses through the ground would be prohibitive using our current technologies. Maybe sometime in the distant future if they perfect superconductor wiring that can be produced and buried at a cost effective price it might be doable, but at the present it's not possible.
Who’s watching this while the power is out ?
I am!
Fuck National Grid
@@WillOnSomething my power has been out for 72 hours.
Almost 16 hours for me at this point
William P 3 almost 4 days
Me i am
my power is off right now sadly but I always wondered how they fix it :)
One summer --. 7.2017 the power went out cuz a tree branch fell on the power line that was in the middle of the street. It took 1 day
my power is out as we speak, too much snow + ice. i’m pretty sure a power line fell in my area and then the transformer blew!
Why is the power grid not underground?

It's extremely expensive and even under the ground, it can have problems.
Texas needs this right now.
Oh my powers out
Lmfao same
Yeah
Yeah
Same
Timely manner HahahahahahgaagaggagaggagahhahahahhahahahH good joke
My power off and I’m here watching this from Iowa :(
Same
Nicki Minaj vu they said it’s coming back on Saturday, where I stay at lol
Unsung heroes
How long would it take if a lady crashes into a power pole and a fire hydrant
😭

Who’s watching this after the power went out in Ontario??
It's already 24 hours
Just watchn this incase the zombie apocalypse
Ah yes it takes 3 days for it to be fixed in my country
Am I the only one watching whose power hasn’t gone out?
Mines been out for 7 hours
Who’s here after Hurricane Laura ?
Yes I’m sitting in my house that is currently 87 degreees and burning hot
Brodie King I pray they getting your lights back on soon .
My power went out yesterday😂
