Re:Not surprising... it's FPL, after all. (Score 1)

I wish to god someone in Tallahassee would learn about microtunneling -- the technology that allows European power companies to run power lines through ancient city centers below centuries-old cobblestone streets without digging a single trench or disturbing so much as a pebble at the surface -- and politely inform FPL that they can either do the same throughout Florida, or wait to have their franchise sold to someone more interested in the satisfaction of their customers.

You know, that would work - only if Florida didn't have coral rock 6 inches below the surface (which is nearly impossible to dig through). And if they did have an underground power plan, one couldn't imagine a way that it would be cost effective to tunnel through all of FL. Plus, the water level throughout all of FL is about 10 feet - give or take a few. You would also have to make sure that you didn't hit that as well. The reason that works so well in Europe, is because Europe's geography works for that plan. FPL would need to develop something else for FL.
