Why can’t they just make the insulation thicker on overhead power lines ?
In: 1
overhead powerlines aren’t insulated. The insulation would break down due to exposure to heat and UV light. The excess weight would also put more stress on them; high tension lines carry tens of thousands of volts and the insulation would have to be prohibitively thick. People getting electrocuted by them simply isn’t a problem. Your money is better spent elsewhere that’s actually a problem.
