11. Ask your Dad about putting transmission lines underground
These are the high capacity lines that are on large steel towers not lower capacity distribution lines on wooden poles or buried.

That's what is what the OP is suggesting be put under water. I'm no big fan of these things. There are 2 within sight of my house- one on steel towers the other on 60 foot "H" frames made of poles. It would be nice if they weren't there but, Hey, I use electricity and it has to get from the power plants to the grid somehow.
