This article offers two fairly tame positions in what is in many cases a heated debate. Under-grounding will increase reliability, but consumers aren’t ready to carry their burden of the costs. Of course, its interesting that the comments that do relate to power lines (and not the global warming “hoax”) call for under-grounding because it will be aesthetically appealing. In other words, we want to “protecting” the view is as important as protecting the lines.
