This is why we pay taxes.

Duh...can you possibly be as stupid as you seem? It costs a little
over a million dollars to pay for each mile of electrical wires put
underground. Hardly cost-efficient in rural farm areas where most of
the people without electricity live.

To top it off the poles were knocked over by the hurricane that came
through last September. Last week was the worst ice storm in
Kentucky's history. Two disasters in the last 5 and a half months have
left us without the resources to put the electrical lines underground.

With a smart guy like you, who lied about having a PhD, Kentucky should
have
lots of resources (or at least lied about having the resources) to place
those
lines underground.

Instead, your talents are wasted hanging around Louisville Technical
Institute.

My question is:

No matter how many millions it would cost to bury the lines, wouldn't it be
ultimately worth it in the end? How many times do they have to repair messes
like the current one before the buried lines would be paid for?- Hide quoted text -

One of the villages here in Cincinnati were built that way. The
village is called Mariemont and it is such a pretty village, like
stepping back into time. Of course, the well off and affluent live
there. The village was designated a historical landmark. Not one power
line to be seen there, they are all underground.
