Life of a Pole.wmv 

Aang2004 show the money baby just show me the money that's how you're buying them

JCX Productions To my view they are ugly they would ruin a city skyline with all those wires on them

+Augustas Juodis Why ? It's easy, because the US is in cases of electricy/powerlines/transformers/power delivery a third country with a very low level of technical standards. Germany has used the last wooden poles in the late sixties/early seventies. That is over 40 years ago. In every storm the wooden poles brakes, or in case of shortcuts they burn, your cheap china made transformers explodes, or heates up, and make noises like an egg boiler. Trees in the direct neighbourhood are falling onto the powerlines, instead of cutting the trees down. The powerlines in USA are in a pitiable state, all over the country, in an ailing state. I'm really shocked when I see their crappy wiring. Why that ? Because US guys rather buys their damned guns, instead of keeping the delivery of electricity in a good working condition. They don't develop their powerlines/distributions, so the technology is outdated. Quick and cheap, that's the way, they do it. That are the facts dude.

Michael Achenbach so true lol haha well i live in CR here they are not wood anymore and they are concrete profesionally made and set in place with wires and high quality transformers they dont look that crappy like in the us cheap ghetto poles 😁😁😂😂

Yes Sir, that's right. We have also concrete made poles, and they last now more than 40 years (20KV Line). Concrete is a good material for those purposes.

+Michael Achenbach Wooden poles are more eco-friendly and cheaper. Comparing durability, a well treated concrete pole lasts about 45-50 years while a well treated wooden pole lasts about 40-45 years. That little difference of 5 years is not worth destroying the environment for.
