Sure, sure. Are you saying trees are not the #1 cause of power
failures?

You are not thinking this through.


On the contrary, My point is people need work and there's work that
needs to be done.

Most utilities are privately owned... and we are talking millions and
millions of trees. Were they all to be trimmed, electric rates would
increase.
Spoken like the true oinker that you are. If privately held utilities
can't maintain their plant they should be taken over by cooperatives or
some such who will. I'll bet you the rates are going to go up more from
this neglect than they would have from paying for proper right-of-way
maintenance. Splicing power lines every 50 feet costs money too.

One good thing about Mr. Obama is his oft stated motto: Yes we can.
