The author asks why utilities do not devote "$5 billion yearly to at least begin the job of burying the lines?"
PSE&G did a study several years ago and found that implementing a “smart” grid would cost the average homeowner $200, a 2.5 percent increase in their rates, according to Michael Jennings, a spokesman for PSEG Power, a subsidiary of the company.
"These were ballpark figures,'' Jennings said. "There was a lot of opposition and we haven't pursued it since.''
"If we allow PSEG and PPL to put this project in our national parks, they can construct polluting power lines anywhere like Yellowstone or Yosemite."
Much is being said of late about "civic aesthetics," especially here in North County, where appearance (personal as well as property) has always seemed to matter more than it does in most parts of the country. We have lots of parks and open space, sparkling beaches and very little graffiti, comparatively speaking. We are on a mission to create more public gathering spaces, more walkable streets and more trails. We have strict design codes (real or perceived), height limits and restrictions on billboards.So why, oh why, haven't we addressed the biggest blight that's afflicting our otherwise-lovely residential neighborhoods?
I'm talking about overhead power and phone lines.
