    Why are power lines not buried underground? Anyone know.

      I am confused too. The access for maintenance is easier. Little to no chance of ice being a factor in cutting power. Eliminate unsightly powerlines overhead. I thought we were improving the infrastructure not maintaining years old standards.

      It costs money, and you wouldn't get any more profit after it was done.

      @@Mindokwin If it is true that 8,000 lines are down, how much money is it costing to repair this? Are they getting any more profit? Just because they have been doing it wrong for so long doesn't make it right. For a power company a trench digger isn't that expensive. Fix the problem right the first time and you have instant savings. Fewer outages, less expensive equipment for maintenance, and work place injuries from working in high locations. Less expense means more profit.

      Places with wind storms should have all electrical in a different way. Places with past earthquakes would need something else or place expansion sections like piping has. There has to be a better way if you want people to be just one for of power. Right now one form doesn’t work. Get it right then move the people.

    This is why we cannot depend on electricity for heat. We cannot depend on electric stoves. It might be cleaner but it isn’t as reliable.

    Start mandating lines be buried. Offer the weasels an incentive to bury old lines if that's what it takes.
