I demand to know why the Obama Admin has failed these people

Personally, I think all new buildings/houses should be required to have solar panels installed, and should be built with passive solar specifications. I think the government should subsidize people solarizing their existing homes. That would go a long way toward solving part of the power problems (and reducing our energy costs). And if people generated their own power, we wouldn't need much of a grid in some places. (I know solar isn't possible everywhere year round though.)

I don't know enough about burying the power lines, but on the surface it sure sounds like a good idea. I suppose they would have to be installed inside some kind of metal pipes though, so digging animals couldn't damage them.
