Last time I got involved in a conversation here about running power underground everyone seemed to think I was a nutcase for saying this, like we can just directionally drill all willy nilly and pull cable like they do further west
Setting a pole up here can be enough of a pain in the dick let alone thousands of miles of power line in the ground

Well, this is a sub where the majority of posters think their individual convenience outweighs any other factor so that's not surprising.

They're also literal children. Whenever someone posts a picture of themselves either on this sub or elsewhere, these guys are kids. 13-18 years old.
Makes me wonder how many times I was having a ridiculous discussion on a serious topic with a literal child.

9 times out of 10 I'll look at profiles and find them posting almost exclusively on weed subreddits complaining dispensaries aren't open on Christmas or that the skoonts don't have enough fleebz to activate their boba receptors.

I always wonder when I see a pole with a cairn of rocks around its base, if they put those rocks there to be able to claim they rammed it to the required depth.

May I introduce you to laser drilling. No it’s never been used for utilities before, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

Easily done.
The cost of installation alone doesn't begin to get in to how expensive this would be. Future maintenance, obtaining easements, etc.
What ever happened to good, old fashioned self-reliance?
