I watched a few videos online and it is all excuses.
They do it in europe,
Even in poorer ex-communist countries.
london
they also have traffic lights on most smaller junctions.
Why don't they put all US power lines underground?

Can't do it everywhere because of elevation/soil. Do you really want to be digging and burying power lines in an area that's below sea level?

I got concepts of a plan.
They started burying lines in Tampa. Atlanta needs to do this. With all these trees, power is easy to go out during storms.

^^^^^^This and cost effectiveness. In other words,, they don't want to spend the money on it.

Sooo when you need to service them, you gotta dig them up right? Seems labor intensive or am I overthinking the process of servicing underground power lines?
They aren't going to spend meiny when they don't have to.
The US is well pat the stage where we will do anything simply because it serves the greater good. Things only happen if they will make someone money.

Underground transmission lines cost 10x overhead lines and it gets more expensive the higher the voltage. They bury a lot of the lower voltage distribution lines but it'd be too expensive to do the 115/230/500kV transmission lines.

I haven't watched the video yet but my first guess is cost....that would be expensive
And the rebuttal is cost benefit
But companies only care about the cost part of that equation.....cause unless they can find some way to charge you more to recoup that they do not give a fukk

you post a picture of london, but new york city has underground power lines, manhattan is all undeground dating back to the early 1900s. The Great White Hurricane of 1888: The Storm That Put NYC's Wires Underground
and across the 5 boroughs 86% of electricity is delivered through underground lines.
it's not like all of england is underground.

Who knows.
But it's big ass cables bottom of the ocean since the days of the telegraph, right?
And Gas lines run underground without constant concern of digging them up just like water lines.

Some of them are just not all of them.
