In the wake of numerous natural disasters, we can no longer wait for utility companies to place power lines underground to protect them. We urge support of tax incentives for hiring new workers to work exclusively on placing power lines underground.
Why is this important?
One of the principal reasons for power outages during recent natural disasters was fallen powerlines, felled by wind, tree branches, and snow. Power outages and trimming trees should no longer be part of business as usual for power companies. Let's put in place a tax incentive plan that puts people to work exclusively on putting those lines underground.
