Well, powerlines act like a giant antenna to transmit the EMP

I'd love to see powerlines go underground, it would dramatically improve my waterview, but the cost would be prohibitive.

I would love to see all the utilities undergorund, but, I also realize the cost would be thru the roof. would be the ultimate solution I think, but won't happen.. any time soon.

What really Frosts My Onions, is, we pay a premium for Electricity, Phone, and Cable, and they are relying on worn out, patched up, (pathes on patches, is what more than one technician has told me) lines and equipment, and I can almost say the days we have uninterupted service, are less than the days we have some kind of trouble.. I get "brown" spells from the electric, can watch the lights dim and brighten.. phone, (why I still have a land line, is beyond me, but wife insists) goes static more often than not, cable... don't get me started on that.. they installed amplifiers in the house, and on the street, no charge, last time out, due to poor signal.. (crappy old patched wires)...

For what we pay, they should all string brand new high tech, state of the art stuff....

Big trouble too, in my town, and most on the cape is the feelgooders..
that won't allow trees to be limbed back away from roadside, and power lines, like they did years ago.... so...

Wind Blows= Interuppted service
