I've been saying this my whole life. I do not understand why this isn't a national initiative, honestly. Even the substations should be underground. The only reason it's not being done is because 'it would cost too much' (they say as they have to pay out hundreds of billions in repair and replacement costs after each next disaster).

Yeah I’m on your side here. Aesthetically more pleasing, less damage done when major storms happen, and yeah it costs a lot for upkeep and to get things started but then if it’s done correctly, the amount of times someone is gonna have to dig it up for repairs becomes minimal.
