So, does Fox News just have the wrong pix to use for this issue or does long distance inter-island cable really have this much copper to it?? Sort of makes me drool just looking at it...

That looks more like 3 phase high voltage submarine cable.

Yeah, I figured they just grabbed some stock footage somewhere of an "under sea cable" and called it good. I'd still like to have about 50 feet of that thing...
