I just read this:
About 565,000 utility customers lost electricity on Thursday as Hurricane Isabel roared ashore, downing trees and snapping power lines along the North Carolina and Virginia coast.
Why do we have power lines above ground? You know, how in subdivisions, they bury the lines, why can't they do that for the main lines that run from the power plants and substations?
We already have the national gas line that runs clear across the country... how hard would it be to do the same for electric lines? That would help solve a lot of the 'downed' power line problems in storms... and would also make the country much 'cleaner' looking...
