Standard politican's trick: imply that one thing is contingent upon
something else.  I point out that putting new services underground is in no
way reliant on putting existing above-ground services underground.  They
simply are not related.  I'll also point out that the cost of putting a new
service underground is much, much cheaper than the cost of putting the same
service above-ground and then later moving it.
