Ya, just put them underground, five minute job. Nice job and high voltage are above ground for many reasons.

Woot. It's the kinda job that makes you want to call out for your momma at times, but man what a great feeling when you've finished a days work and are still alive!

@7514328 the video seems to be shot in australia. sorry but you seem to b every naive. u can't put ALL the lines underground. people wud only complain bout soil, ecosystem, and tree root damage for starters. above ground is the safest way to maintain the lines for the guys involved with them, sure u wud b the first person to complain when your power went out because us tree surgeons didnt cut the trees!! you are extremely naive.

ok thats great tell them to goto wo for the power company and pick up a shovel and start digging.

@7514328 its pretty obvious from the video that this isn't in the US, did you even watch the video?

[127quinn]

look at the terrain. What you suggest is totally unfeasable and there is oviously a reason why they are not already underground. That project would run into the millions because those are sub transmision lines the voltages are very high maybe around 66kv or more. Trust me there is a good reason why they are not underground already.

you can't relocate the power grid? what are you talking about? I have worked in overhead powelines for a major utility for over four years and that does not happen ever.
