It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?

Bit unsightly too

Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

    The cost to reach them to diagnose and replace outweighs the decreased maintenance. Digging is really expensive.
