[Add in the fact that Houston & the suburbs are full of trees & clearing the growth along the power line right of ways is way down on the list of ‘to do’ items.]
Maybe if the state started fining homeowners and municipalities whose trees fall on power lines, people would trim them periodically instead of going au naturel.

You are suggesting private individuals should be trimming around power lines? Is that done anywhere in the country?

It’s more the responsibility of the power companies. Sure, the city or county can pass some type of code enforcement to encourage the power companies to clean up the right of ways.
From the power line to the home or business is strictly on the private individual to maintain.
