Underground High Voltage Cabling for All
Mr. Bassil, I agree with you, no underground high voltage cables for Mansourieh unless we install underground high voltage cables everywhere in Lebanon. Don’t we all deserve peace of mind? It will be a challenge to uproot all the high tension pylons in Lebanon, granted, but since our government's 2012 budget reveals an intention to spend like crazy, why not add one more item to the budget, something really useful. I am sure you can find the time to visit a few websites during the day that will show you that underground high voltage cables can be safer, surprisingly affordable, and quicker to install than overhead cables. They also present lower energy loss and improved transmission reliability not to mention they look nicer (i.e. invisible), an important consideration in a country where tourism is our bread and butter. Please forgive my ignorance. I really don’t understand how decisions are made in government in Lebanon, or who decides to remove a pylon here, and build a pylon ther
