Nearly double per capita. That's not "on par", that's miles away.

Air is a gas ;)
How much if this has to do with most lines in Europe going underground because high housing density?
I know for many power outages are unheard of, while for some are normal. People don't realize that in suburbs or exurbs that are popular in US power lines are simply overground and very susceptible to bad weather.
- Gud 4mo agoI don’t know the ratio, cables vs overhead lines, but overhead lines are very common in Europe as well. I deliberately didn’t use GDP per capita as it’s a flawed measurement. Have a look at these lists, not many US cities qualify. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices So you can take your GDP per capita, that’s skewed to the rich anyway, and I’ll take my happiness.
