Wait, we need their special technology to put the wires underground? There are MANY places here in the US where power, cable tv, and phone lines are ALL underground with no wires hanging from poles. I thought they built their facility = if so I'm sure they could have had their pole feed run into teh building underground, which was how it was at my old house. Poles along the street, but instead of a hanging wire feeding my house, it ran underground into my basement. It actually was an issue as I wanted to upgrade the service entrance capacity and that could have meant an expensive digging job, but as it turns out the power company ran all the feeds already sized for higher capacity so instead it was a matter of replacing the main disconnect and panel, no new run from the house to the base of the pole.
My current house, it is an aerial cable feeding power. I'm careful to keep trees trimmed back to not overhang the wire, but my line passes right through a neighbor's tree so one of these days I know I am in for it, more likely from the rubbing wearing away the insulation than the tree actually falling.
