It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?

Bit unsightly too

Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

    Are you going to to pay for the massive infrastructure change that would require?

    If you look around, every new subdivision I see being built is underground, in the multiple states where my family and friends live.

    In some areas though, the ground is incredibly rocky, or general conditions promote aboveground for new indrastructure, but that’s rare.
