The Netherlands doesn't have a single overhead electric line, and I don't see us pushing for that.

Also technically trams can use dynamic ground third rail without wires, though that brings many problems and is more difficult to implement.
No they don't put them in because they don't want people to see how unsightly they are. I lived in this city with the overhead trolley lines. They were an unsightly mess.
