I came to this country from a European country 20 years ago, and was astonished to see visible power lines in the city and suburbs. Power outages never happen in my home city. I don't know where the transformers are, but they're not exposed to the elements at all.

The USA is the richest country in the world. It's interesting that its residents should still be dealing with exposed power lines. I understand that earthquake-prone areas can't bury their lines, but it doesn't make sense for the rest of the country.[/quote]

I’m so tired of hearing from Europeans about how things are better.

You have a drier and likely cooler climate.  Thunderstorms are about 4x more likely in the US overall and much more in the Southeast.

“ Each year approximately 75–200 thunderstorm hours occur over the southwestern, central, and eastern United States, with a peak over Florida (200–250 h). The activity over the majority of Europe ranges from 15 to 100 h, with peaks over Italy and mountains (Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathians, Dinaric Alps; 100– 150 h).”[/quote]

This is an argument FOR burying our power lines in the U.S. if they're buried in Europe, not AGAINST.[/quote]
