I went a mile north of where I first saw Metal poles. Like I suspected, they are tying into the high voltage lines from the natural gas power station on the west side of the Wabash river. The natural gas plant was built before anyone mentioned carbon. Natural gas is cheaper.
I asked the guys installing the metal poles why metal . They said last longer. Also installing copper wire. I told him they must have rubber Male parts. They said just polymer coated.
Now on the north side of Terre Haute, they are installing new wood poles. They are just as tall. Running new lines to connect to the power grid sub station.
In the middle of town metal poles have replaced a few damaged wood poles.
Ground wire on top of metal poles. Wood poles 3 power wires on top. Ground wire underneath.
I'm guessing the metal poles are used for the highest voltage coming from the power station. Wood poles for lower voltages from sub stations. Just guessing.
They are busy up grading poles and wires. Also appears they are no longer building coal plants, in favor of natural gas.
The coal power plant just north of town has been demolished.
