Very good point. Our electric utility - like most, I'd say - has a 
tree-trimming program to reduce outages. But most often, people complain 
because their trees are being cut back too much, so the "tree goats" 
have to be careful to cut only the minimum. If they know you don't want 
the tree at all, they'll likely be glad to cut it way back to below the 
wires.

They probably won't remove the entire tree for you, but they could cut 
it back enough so it would be easier - and lots cheaper - to remove than 
it is now.
