I am amazed that the power companies are not more aggressive about
trimming trees near power lines up there.

The two major power companies up here have been on a major trimming
program for the past year or so. We received notices about the work to
be done that explained the right of way for power lines, etc., even if
it involved trees on your property.

The work has been welcomed by just about everyone because it was long
overdue. The benefit is very rare power outages and those that do occur
are usually due to a car accident and don't last long.
