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.
