The logistical and technical headaches of burying distribution lines in the state of Louisiana bears a cost that I don't think anyone is willing to even discuss.

Like that time Baton Rouge had to overhaul the sewer lines costing billions of dollars.
Something had to be done. Unfortunately power outages and reliability doesn't get the same focus as shite coming up peoples toilets does.

Entergy simply doesn't do it b/c they Don't HAVE to. They aren't profit driven they aren't punished for this catastrophic failure in infrastructure. They aren't even summoned to Senate Hearings.
Entergy should have started undergrounding EVERYTHING they repaired and every NEW line since 19 fricking 99.


Other countries(obviously Germany and the Netherlands lead the way) are taking undergrounding seriously. In fact parts of the US are as well.

The bullshite "it's cost prohibitive" excuse can kick rocks with Entergry.
