How many trillions of dollars have we spent on FEMA since Katrina?

Just imagine if a really major catastrophe hits us.

“as much as $15 million per mile of buried line - and that gets passed onto consumers.”

Underground lines are $15 MILLION a mile??

That is absolutely! insane and ridiculous!

Putting lines underground makes a lighting strike easier. I have been in many homes after a major storm with underground power lines. It destroys more items in the home.

My guess is the problem would be cleared sooner if the Urban Denizens of the DC area didn’t rip off the miles and miles of downed copper transmission lines before the power company responders could get to them.

Good thing Bush isn’t still president. He’d be catching all kinds of hell for this debacle.

In the aftermath of storms that knocked out power to millions, sweltering residents and elected officials are demanding to know why it's taking so long to restring power lines and why they're not more resilient in the first place.

Two words: GOVERNMENT REGULATION.
