    its like 35 degrees here and few days ago it was 10 degrees with wind chills at 20 below -sure a few days without power and no hot showers frozen pipes and no hot food -real fun-

    6 days and some in wa still have no heat all because they love the tall trees i guess


    It happens everywhere. Every time we get an ice storm down here we get power outages. I had no electricity for 8 days once and it was at or around freezing for all of those days. It sucked, but you don't just go cut down all the trees. We do have to breathe. You can trim them back to try to keep them away from lines, but there isn't much you can do to completely keep them or their limbs from falling on power lines. Fortunately the ice and the snow and the hurricanes don't come that often that it is really a big deal.

  • i didnt say cut down all the trees

    are there any old growth in us cities? i doubt it

    but there are old 800 year old trees in wa i think not in cities
    the old trees are already gone from cities- nothing new

    No, probably not.

    I think the oldest verifiable tree, at least in the hardwood (decidious) category resides on the east coast of North Carolina somewhere. I saw it many, many years ago; it was in a populated area.

  • Power lines should be buried. This is a pet peeve of mine.....
    power lines should totally be buried, I agree.

    It's really expensive to do, over here in orlando the Disney areas have buried power lines but only because of the huge amounts of money they have.
    I think palm beach is getting them next. (many many rich folks in that area)


    in one town in wa theives hook car(or so the news said on tv) to underground wires and rip out underground wires to sell the wire
    -so underground wires are bad as well

    maybe ifthey could lock the covers that cover the wire, it would be ok

    so people that like trees never buy anything made from wood?

  • i wouldnt say cut down old redwoods
    when the trees stand alone they blow over when they are in a large forest they protect each other and less are blown down

    you have towns -you have to cut down trees

    i wonder how much of usa is covered in towns /cities

    i heard parts of new jersey reverted from towns back to forests and theres all these old ghost towns and cemetaries and its a very weird state

    According to an A.P. story in today's paper...........Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California.........at least three trees exceeding 370 feet.

    New Jersey has the Pine Barrens. I haven't been there but I hear it's about as remote and wild as you can find anywhere out East.
