   I don't know about any real reasons (other than cost)   
   for not burying power cables.  There was a plan here   
   in Tulsa a few years ago to bury the cables in one   
   neighborhood.  The people who lived there objected   
   because the transformer boxes would wind up sullying   
   their beautiful front yards.   
      
   Of course there may be places where the ground may   
   shift enough to damage the cables in just a few   
   years.
