      No I’ve just been to countries that aren’t stupid enough to have overhead power lines anywhere near residential or commercial properties, even in rural communities. The amount of money you save by being lazy with overhead lines is eaten up by the constant repair and maintenance, and in a competent country, health costs that they inevitably cause.

      Underground lines are the only sensible solution. I mean you should be generating power that far from its primary draw anyway.
