No you have not thought it through. If you did you would come up with a
list of positive and negative outcomes. You would have to look at these
lists and determine the benefits and costs. You would then pick a course
of action based on short and long term benefits versus costs.

You have not done this or thought it through and just gave a distracting
answer. Good luck to you on that.

Like I said, I was in Houston for a Category 3 Hurricane. The splices
are still on the wires, from where the un-maintained trees shredded
them. They have since been very proactive regarding preventative
maintenance of right-of-way encroachment.

Which has naught to do with the question of overhead VS underground
power lines.

Now answer the question you originally posed.

I said you either bury the power lines or trim the trees. Doing nothing
because it may be a long time before there's a storm is gambling with
people's lives.

We used to be better than that. We are a mediocre second-rate ********
country nowadays.

Crap, they've a private contractor trimming trees every spring, summer and fall

Sometimes I think they go overboard, but, it sure is cool that they can feed a
huge branch into those chippers!
