Power outages

[Flaptail]

Did you ever notice after storms in winter how often and how many power outages there are? In the mid-west right now people are freezing and have been without power in many areas now for almost if not more than a week. How after a hurricane her in the NE or any storm thaty packs winds over 40 miles and hour we loose power?

When will National Grid, N-Star, Boston Edison and Commonwealth Electric finally realize it's time to go underground like the phone company has been doing for the last twenty years?

Really now, here we are in the 21st century and they still use a technology developed in the mid 1800's to deliver power, namely the wooden pole and cross brace.

Hardly ever loose your phone in a storm these days but power, for which we pay dearly, goes down the shoot regularly.

Tine to put it all underground.
