We have a ton of regular electric busses in my city in Denmark

Big powerlines everywhere in narrow city streets? People would get mad.. it looks terrible. And we already have all our power cables below ground.

Seattle used to have these as well. Sadly, the US (outside of a few cities that kept their 1930's infrastructure and updated it) can't find it's ass with both hands when it comes to public transportation.

And the same people who gripe about overhead cables apparently have no trouble staring at a street full of idling, polluting, and noisy cars. It's really impressive.

Also people from Vancouver ( Canada ) where hydro power makes electricity super cheap.
