Well, darling, if you want to chat with TXU Electric about those pesky trees playing jump rope with their power lines, just pick up the phone and give them a jingle. Their customer service hotline should do the trick. And if you're feeling fancy, you could always slide into their DMs on social media. Just make sure to mention those tree troublemakers so they know what's got your knickers in a twist.

Four causes of faults on transmission lines?
Some cases I've seen: -Nature: -lightning strikes near line -fires (I've seen farmers burn weeds out from under a line - the fire ionizes the air, and with the added particulates in the air create a path to ground) -snow storms/icing on lines (can cause lines to sag) -high winds (can cause lines to blow out, possibly making contact with trees, or can cause enough stress to break poles). Winds can also blow stuff into the lines -tornados -Animals: -Two bears climbing a pole -Two owls fighting near a line -Eagle/other large birds swooping down between conductors -Eagle/other large bird pooping on conductors -People: -farmers touching power lines with harvesting equipment -crop dusters attempting to fly under lines -people crashing cars into poles
Is a tree renewable?
Technically a tree is a renewable resource, as you can replace what you use in about 20 years depending on the species of tree. However, when companies destroy entire forests of trees, much biodiversity is lost and it is too hard to re-grow the trees that were cut down.It depends on the state in which it is in. Take for example paper. Paper is made from tree pulp, and it can be reusable, so in that aspect it IS renewable. But coal, which is made from trees that have been underground for at least a few million years (a pure form of carbon, like graphite and diamond), is NOT renewable as it is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are a type of energy that is not recyclable, unlike geothermal, solar, or hydro-electric energy.Yes and no. If you plant as many trees as you cut down or more than yes but if you don't the numbers will eventually decline and again no. While trees will grow back, they will take time so that is another reason why it is yes and no.
Why we need high power to generate AM signal and low power to generate FM signal?
The reason FM has lower power and AM has higher power is because the more power that an AM signal has, the farther it will go, but FM does not work that way. AM waves can bounce off of the atmosphere, especially at night. This is the reason that you can hear AM stations from far away at night. FM, on the other hand, can't bounce. FM waves only go in a straight line from the tower and no matter how much power you transmit with, an FM wave will only go a short distance. AM Waves can travel through trees and buildings, and FM can't.
