Makes a lot more sense to build nukes and heat houses that way.


True but you better have backup heat because a tree branch loaded with ice
can take out electric power for a week.
Not with underground power it cant.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of miles of overhead power
lines in the U.S. I've never lived in a house new enough to have underground
power.

Utilities cannot afford to bury all those lines.

Even in the summer, thunderstorms, half-dead trees and power lines don't
mix either.
I dont heat my house in summer.

Yet there is need for electric power in summer. Unless you wash your
clothing by beating it on rocks in the river. Do you?

Every power outage I've suffered through was caused by some jackass
leftist environmental-wacko tree-huger who just had to plant trees along
the power line right-of-way.
Our power utility cuts those down. You lot are too stupid
to do that ? You get to wear the downsides of that.

For years, our power utility didn't cut them down. Then they started with
a ritzy suburb that had complained about power reliability. It did not
take long for the lawsuits to start.

A few summers ago our utility came through my neighborhood and cut
down a bunch of trees some previous owner of my house was stupid
enough to plant directly under the power lines.
