Knowing the reliability and safety benefits (not to mention long-term 
cost efficiencies) of underground infrastructure and having experienced 
some of the hazards of overhead electricity cables myself, it surprises 
me that distributing power through naked overhead wires is still 
accepted, particularly in urban areas. Come to think of it, I'm 
surprised that it's legal. Perhaps the familiarity of the hazards blinds us.
