Maybe it'll lead the US burying their power lines

lol never gonna happen.

I live in the PNW of the US where many fires have been started by transformers exploding or whatnot.

Basically every community that has a fire as a result of transmission lines rebuilds them above ground/on poles. Just last month I was going through Detroit, Oregon and their 2-3 year old power lines were all down because of the wind storm. Detroit had a transformer explode a few years ago and it took out much of the community. They immediately rebuilt above ground.

They'll rebuild them on poles again.

		Where I stay in Florida they have been burying all the lines after the last few hurricanes, thankfully.

The cost to do that is unimaginably high.

		So was rural electrification to start with, but it still more than paid for itself. It has also never been easier to bury lines with horizontal boring machines.
