- pix128 8mo agoMaybe it'll lead the US burying their power lines
- throwaway5370x 8mo agoThe drones will just start digging then
- NonHyloMorph 8mo agoOh well, enter the matrix
- chrneu 8mo agolol 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.
- pests 8mo agoWhere I stay in Florida they have been burying all the lines after the last few hurricanes, thankfully.
- mothballed 8mo agoThe cost to do that is unimaginably high.
- AngryData 8mo agoSo 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.
- paganel 8mo agoThis is built especially with the military thought as the primary client.
- 650REDHAIR 8mo agoWhich is upsetting.
- paganel 8mo agoI fully agree, but this is the world we live in right now.
