After Hurricane Andrew in the 1990s there was a lot of talks
about putting more cables underground. THe Feds offered Long Island like a
billion bucks to do it but Long Island demured.

WHat are the arguments and economics for revisiting the questions, esp
as electrification is growing (regardless if you like it or not).

I don't know about any real reasons (other than cost)
for not burying power cables. There was a plan here
in Tulsa a few years ago to bury the cables in one
neighborhood. The people who lived there objected
because the transformer boxes would wind up sullying
their beautiful front yards.

Of course there may be places where the ground may
shift enough to damage the cables in just a few
years.
