As a kid there was a big exciting (to me through my parents’ eyes) movement to put our neighborhood power lines underground, but they fk’ed it up somehow and power started going out so often we got a generator.
I want to say it was some issue with the water table? Poorly protected? Too low? Whenever a big rain would come they’d flood and cut off? I might be making that part up, kid memories.
I’m sure that has a lot to do with the incopetents that managed it and little to fo with underground cables in general.
Telephone… lines? They’re wireless, duh. /s
