The trend, though, is toward placing electrical lines underground in developing communities.
They also must take into account that moving electrical lines underground makes routine maintenance of the system more difficult, and thus more expensive.
WSJ: Should Utilities Be Required to Bury Power Lines to Protect Them?
In many areas local utility companies will even cut back your wayward tree branches free of charge if they sit too close to electrical lines.

Besides its effect on bird populations, the snakes also take an economic toll on Guam by causing numerous power outages each year when they cross from tree into electrical lines, the FWS says.
Infrastructure needs like pipelines and electrical transmission lines will become more evident as production increases.

Since the 1920s the emphasis has been on increasing conventional generating unit size up to a now optimal size of 600, 000 kW. These must employ transmission and distribution lines to integrate electrical loads which almost always are much smaller, and also to integrate generating units to permit reserve sharing.

Electrical engineers at Stanford University have created nanoscale optical lines that use much less power than the laser connectors found in computers today.
Roughly 70 percent of electrical power generated at a plant is lost in transmission lines.
The combination of being less of an eyesore and producing less electrical smog should, TenneT hopes, soften objections to the construction of new overhead power lines.
