"In this case, the simplest mechanism would probably have been to build above-ground high tension power lines on massive steel towers. This is the most common mode of high voltage electrical transmission, and the cables are easy to access and repair. " astonishing that they don't do this. Their first attempt failed; the second likely will also. And both at tremendous expense when a tried-and-true methodology exists.
