It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?
Bit unsightly too
Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

Population density matters:
is there supposed to be an image in your comment? anyway, some more specific numbers then.
the stockholm region, the most populated area of sweden, is a bit less than twice the size of the city of houston TX, with about the same population of 2.3 million people. but the population density of the area is about 1/4th that of houston, at 380/km2 compared to 1400.
meanwhile the norrbotten region, the most sparsely populated area, is just above alaska in population density.
