Overhead power lines - Flintstone’s technology

You obviously have no clue what is required for underground line installation, much less the repair of those lines.

With overhead lines you can see and assess the damage easily. Underground is a whole different monster

you gonna pay for that?

$$$$

Yeah it's a pain when they go down. But it's cheap to put them up, cheap to maintain them, and cheap to repair them when they go down.

Relative to digging and burying millions of miles of power lines.

Why aren’t we wireless by now. My truck console charged my phone for Christ sakes.

When will the government demand Entergy and other power companies to use only subsurface power lines

When will the government demand Entergy and other power companies to use only subsurface power lines. It’s insane and negligent to depend on overhead power lines.

When you are willing to pay. Some subdivisions have underground service, because they pay for it.

That’s a massive infrastructure renovation.

I love all the electrical engineers we’ve collected since the storm

Not sure if you're serious.

Wireless charging is very lossy, hot, inefficent, etc.

It doesn't matter when you're charging a phone. It would matter a whole lot trying to charge a car (yes, I believe it was BMW that floated that idea) or power a house.

And how would you propose they beam this "wireless" power over vast distances?
