    I prefer bringing an underground line with an advanced version, which helps it easier to maintain when connection damages are there. We have a good improvement in the technology field, so I hope we will build something that will make this Underground line possible all over in the coming generations. Mainly in India.

    1. Use power detectors to gauge where power lines lie. I use one to detect active power current in my own household and it cost $10.
    2. Group buried lines away from residential areas, toward commercial /high traffic districts to make detection and repair easier. Shield them using the lead pipes that shouldn't be used for drinking water pipes, and install them on sewer ceilings/side walls.
    3. Bury the power grids as well, especially nuclear plants.
    4. For earthquake prone areas, house grouped power lines with above poles with the outlying floor lines housed in street bumpers situated so as not to disrupt main traffic. It's more difficult, but nothing that can't be solved by any typical gamer who's ever played Sim City.
    I can't believe these need to be said from someone who's under the paygrade of greedy power grid officials.

      Or just lay power lines in sidewalks next to roads, any where that needs power needs car access anyway, and it wouldnt add much to the cost of the roads.
      Also could have meters every 500 feet and probably even build in easy access to the lines by making the top of the sidewalk easy to take off

      @@nrz_int_54 You (and grid congloms who want to stay in perpetual, codependent authority) prefer cheap fixes over long term solutions. If an area is not riddled with earthquakes, it makes no sense to use above ground conduits.

    The Over Traffic Areas can be cabled Underground in India mainly in Chennai like Cities and The Temple Carts,The Wedding Cars,Strikes and Public Speech by Politicians in Stages should be avoided in Conjested Areas.

    Here we just have power poles, they're in good shape, easy to repair, affordable, so no need for underground lines .

      That's cute if the power lines are stored within the poles themselves instead of dangling everywhere flora and fauna do their natural business.
