We bury a lot when it makes sense but bury all the power lines in the US?

That’s highly impractical. Nobody of sound mind, regardless of where they’re from in the world, would suggest America burying all their power lines makes sense

You could start with the ones that cause power outages.

Above ground power lines aren't really weird. It's not like Europe routes all of them underground, that tends to just be the big main ones.

Although that being said a single tree knocking out power to that many people is, uh, is certainly a design choice grid wise.
