Send the electrical company to build a parallel power line, then encapsulate the troubled cable in quantum confinement and destroy of with anti matter.
Squirt gun with piranha solution
Artificially accelerate the evolution of flying fungi, to break down dat fibrous lignin even faster! Either that or toss a pair of shoes up there so the wood doesn't get lonely.
Lignin balls! Gottem!
Thoughts and prayers seem to work well
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if we would just chuck woodchucks?
A woodchuck would chuck what a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck woodchucks.
i dunno i think beavers and woodpeckers would end up not being precise enough and biting through wire.
termites will be the slow but safer option here
Termites are very precise. Eat all the wood until the wood is gone and don't eat anything else.
Termite paratroopers could work. Attach a brain organoid backpack to each terminate, and let them roll.
I have this down the street from my house and I asked a lineman about it. He was saying they will never leave this on power lines, just on the telecom lines. The arborists work for the power company, because even thought the utility poles are jointly owned the power company has the highest risk so they are responsible for management.
They will always remove the wood from power lines because wood is somewhat conductive, especially when it still fresh because of the water content. Leaving it on a high voltage line can increase the potential for a short. They don’t bother to cut them completely off the telecom lines because there is no risk of shock but a big risk to line damage. If they damage the telecom line they have to pay high fees to the telecom company for repair and risk creating an outage. Also the lines are designed to bear a certain amount of weight, as engineer have accounted for natural burdens like trees, ice and animals.
Also the wood eventually rots after a few seasons and will eventually fall off on its own.
This could be absolute nonsense.. but it sounds legit.. so I'll believe you internet stranger. Have my up vote.
Worked as a telecom lineman, he's not wrong, but we (our company personally) normally go the extra steps to remove it for aesthetic reasons. Helps when the job is done and the foreman is doing his review walks.
I was curious if what I had been told had any reference online, a quick search did turn up this post which pretty much says the same:
Drone with a flamethrower
You just wait for the next storm. When the lines fall, they will be gone.
Organic high-voltage capacitors. Very common in Scandinavia.
Stick a ladder under it with a "Free Firewood" sign.
Takes ladder🪜, uses it for firewood. Mission accomplished, mostly. :-P
I have suggestions:
- high voltage. Let the wire burn its way thru the wood.
- just replace that section of the wire.
- it actually looks kinda stable already. Maybe just sell tickets to view it.
sell tickets to view it
capitalism intensifies
No matter the solution, sell tickets and build in ad blocks
I'm not sure we can take much more intensity tho...
Pray tell, what were the suggestions?
I'd go with lumberjack on stilts
You move, thats not your neighbourhood anymore.
