It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?

Bit unsightly too

Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

    Not true. I. Most cases they are better protected against the elements if underground.

    But it costs money to do and requires higher tax rates to be spent on it instead of military and paying off corrupted politicians
