Capacitance causes power loss in underground lines.  Also the higher the voltage the larger the line.  Underground transmission lines would have to be in pressurized tubes 10-20” in diameter.  And you can’t work on them live.

It's crazy, if we actually built some gen 3 IV reactors, both sides of the argument wouldnt have anything to argue about, they'd be warm, and wed be eating the prior reactor waste.

That is the production issue resolved for the foreseeable future and yucca mountain could be turned into an Airbnb hotspot.

We have a loose pocket fed right now so the state can get federal disaster relief to fix the distribution.

I dont know enough about distribution to understand why it is we can bury a billion miles of fiber to get porn to the masses but we keep putting our electrical distribution on poles. Earthquakes aside not much happens in the dirt, and I bet errant backhoe operators are a little more careful when it comes to electrocution vs interrupting pornhub.
