The recent problems have less to do with low voltage lines to
homes (what could be underground) than high voltage transmission
lines and sub-stations. Can't put those underground.

No? All of Con-Ed's lines in NYC are underground.

And how about the rest of the grid?

All of them, including the lines from 6 new power plants currently
under construction.

Rest of the state too? Whole eastern seaboard?

There has been a big fight going on in Connecticut about 69 miles of 345KV
line to be run through part of the state, primarily to get more power to
Long Island across the Sound. The power company involved has already
committed to burying 44 miles, most of which goes through one of the most
affluent areas of the country. Draw your own conclusion.

Well, one conclusion jumps out - some people think they're above having to look
at miles of unsightly transmission lines.

Across the great plains is one thing, but let's face it, if there's a better
way (asthetically) to run power, telephone and other communication lines, why
shouldn't it be employed?
