It would be nice if we could bury the lines in utah. This would prevent these sort of outages due to storms.

who is going to pay to bury those lines? Most power lines in Sandy are bruied I think. It does make sense anytime when heavy wind or snow pass by and less chopping off of those trees near those power lines.
