If you don't put the wires underground you gotta trim the trees.

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.

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

Beyond simply Trimming the Branches . . . It also
has to do with the "Fall" Radius of the Trees : A
45-Ft Tall Oak Tree has a 'potential' "Fall" Radius
of 45-Ft in Kentucky.

FWIW a 200-Ft Tall Pine Tree has a 'potential'
"Fall" Radius of 200-Ft here in the Sierras.

Here Living-in-the-Red-Zone {Forested Fire Area}
Technically the Insurance and Fire Laws would
have us 'Clear' all the trees that could Fall on the
House during a Forest Five. That would require
the de-forestation of all the very tall Pine and
Fir Trees with-in a 50-Ft, 75-Ft, 100-Ft, 150-Ft,
200-Ft, and 250-Ft or more depending in the
Height of the individual Trees.
