How sad it is that it took 2 lives and all those legal fees to force the power supply companies to apply common sense in the marking and placement of these things.
Kudos to Sheather for forcing the issue against what appears to be enormous odds.

This is a very important decision. For more than half a century there have been many fatal accidents as a result of collisions with unmarked power lines. Power companies were usually associated with government, so they had deep pockets and appeared to be all powerful.
Finally something has been done about this and power companies are accountable for their actions, like everyone else is.
