The Etching on this page is of Overhead Telephone and Telegraph Wires in Broadway, 1890. "Wires snapped on a regular basis as a

result of over tension, wind, or ice weighing them down. The electrical wires carried a significant charge, but the other wires carried electricity as well. As wires snapped and lashed across streets, smashing against buildings, thrashing about, spraying sparks in all directions, blocks were rendered impassable until power to the downed lines could be cut." From "Book of Old New York." Henry Collins Brown. 1913.
If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of the following properties would be most important for your wire to have?

Should it be thick or thin, aluminum or nichrome, buried underground or installed out in the sun?

Write a paragraph defending your choice.

I think it should be thick and it should be aluminum because aluminum is a good conductor... and i don't think it matters if its above ground or underground.. because if u look outside now most of the wires are above ground but they are starting to make them underground now.. so if u have to pick one just say above ground
