 Tip of the day for utilities workers: did you know you can bury power cables underground?

 Only if somebody else is paying. 

10x and up for the installation, and then heaven forbid you have a fault because you'll be digging up a lot of cable. Miles / kilometres in many cases.

I only support underground power cabling in rare cases where safety is at risk and no other mitigations will work.
