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. 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.

Heck, some even lie about having PhD's!

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?

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.

Properly maintained trees do not "fall over".

That's required by law in L. A. County as well. We take disaster prep
very seriously here.
