Came here to make a bottom joke. Yours is good, so I won't.

Doubt it since power outages in the cities are pretty rare. Then how would the street lights work? Have to replace the wood poles with ones with interior wiring? But then the cable/phone/internet and in some cases fire alarm are all hanging on the existing poles. To do it right would be a lot move involved.

I used to live in Alaska. The power lines are all buried in Alaska. The ground has a ton of rock and frost. Somehow I never lost power while living there.

> Doubt a lot of people would want their yards ripped up just to get the electricity that they already get.

I dunno, a simple "Hey we're going to tear it up, put it back as best we can, but at the end of it you'll have power that will never go down due to weather" I bet the vast majority would be on board.

Ah, thank you! My evil plan worked and Merrimack county is represented! I'd have done it myself but I haven't found any I'd recommend.

Great prime rib!

#Bottom Text

Just set up a tent at the Hollis Flea Market, put up some trinkets for sale, and you'll probably be fine for a bit

There a football game on your road?

And jam packed with people and traffic. Same with N Conway. Deal breaker for me. I can say that I've been there and enjoyed the amenities, but their success is killing them.

Name checks out.

Way up? Gorham or Colebrook...

Goddamn "BOTTOM TEXT" Advice Animals, haven't seen one of those posted in years. Put a big ol smile on my face

Depending on my mood and what exactly I’m ordering here are four that jump right out at me in no particular order.

1. Beijing Tokyo

2. Chen Yang Li

3. Szechuan Garden

4. Splendid does good sush too.

Cumulatively compared to the cost of continuing to repair outages and downed lines from storms, plus associated costs of not having power, year after year? Yes

Wilton, Brookline, mason

Rural maybe, if it doesn't interfere with their ability to upgrade the lines as the population grows. Cities.. that may be a hard sell. Doubt a lot of people would want their yards ripped up just to get the electricity that they already get.

That's all assuming your analysis is correct, which I'm skeptical of.

Lake Winnipesaukee is where you are wanting to go. Absolutely breathtaking on the Lake. All sorts of towns for all types of peeps. 20+ skiing venues, 30-60 minutes away.

Yeah but he probably made in 30 hours what I take home in one month.

NH is 82% forested. Powerlines run everywhere. It would be extremely expensive & invasive to cut any tree that has the reach to fall on a line.

I'm all bottom text and no power.

Such as?

Hillsborough - New Wa Toy

I don't disagree with the latter half of that, the line from QBC would be great. But it doesn't have to be a massive increase- a small increase, say 1c/kwh, and then use the proceeds to begin burying everything- start from the outside (rural areas will be easier to do this in and can be done with smaller impact to people trying to get around) and work your way into the cities. 1c/kwh across the entire state will not have a massive effect on each individual's bills, I'm a rather heavy user at 2800KWH and my bill would increase $28, but across the entire state, that adds up quickly.

Not to mention there are federal incentives for burying power lines (because the rest of the country has more or less figured out that burying them vastly improves resiliency against weather) to help offset the cost.

Last I saw it cost around $11500/mi to bury lines- not cheap by any means, but it could be covered in <10 years by a 1c/kwh increase statewide. Additionally, most new construction already has buried lines, no reason not to make that the standard.
