...damnfool landowners who plant big trees too near power lines...
It's not always the landowners' fault. The city in which my folks live planted trees in their right-of-way a few years ago, directly under the lines that connect to Mom and Dad's house. Dad pointed out that they'd be a problem in a few years but was told that it would be at least ten years before it was an issue and anyway the city would fix it. (This by the landscaper putting in the trees.) Of course, five years later the tree is becoming a problem, and Mom and Dad are expected to take care of it. In this case the landscaper just wanted to sell an extra tree, and there wasn't really anything the landowner could do about it at the time.
