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.

RHF, by the way, which infrastructure improvements in the US (not
Iraq) were paid for by the Bush administration?

How much does it cost to trim the trees along the ROW?

You obviously do not grasp the number of trees involved. They are
trimmed regularly. Ice storms uproot them entirely, along with
electrical poles.

I guess you really think everyone in KY is barefoot and has an IQ of
35?

No. Then they'd have an excuse.

The lack of right-of-way maintenance saves someone a few dollars
up-front, but costs more (to the barefoot consumers) in the long run.

I lived in East Texas; I know what trees are, and I know that they must
be cut to prevent them from falling on power lines.

And others have jobs. When was the last time you were gainfully
employed, Steve? Oh, that's right, you retired at 40, didn't you?

At 50, due to disabilty, and I didn't have to lie about a thing.

I know that sounds utterly amazing to you, having that PhD and all!

having a PhD!
