[quote=Anonymous]I live in Cleveland Park and would love to see the wires buried like they are in Woodley and Georgetown. Pepco has actually been "heavying up" the above ground wires, putting in taller poles (often without removing the old ones) and stringing more cable. The result is that Pepco butchers the tree canopy, often cutting major branches on the street side of trees - which leaves them unbalanced and likely to topple toward houses in a major storm. People talk a lot about green energy and conservation, and a thick tree canopy reduces air conditioning demand in the warmer months significantly. DC should study how other cities have set up financing schemes so that utilities can borrow at low interest rates to bury their infrastructure to improve reliability and enhance the environment. Sadly, though, it's pretty clear that the present administration and council do basically what Pepco (soon Exelon) wants.[/quote]
