    Are you talking transmission or distribution?

    Distribution lines up to 22,000V are run under ground these days in all new subdivisions - they are cost effective.

    When you step up to transmission lines - 100,000V and above, that's where the insulation requirements become much more critical.

    High voltage current is a beast and it needs proper containment.

    That containment is not cheap.
