Often when people think their governing institutions are incompetent (or in this case a quasi-public/private utility), it’s bc the people themselves haven’t given a clear mandate (& necessary resources/$ for that mandate).

$4M per mile? Jeez, you could put solar and a basic battery system on 150+ homes for that money. Plus powerlines don't make power, still have to pay fuel costs on top of that.

If you have 50-100 houses per mile and break the cost over 30 years, it’s like $1,600/yr per parcel. https://www.cityofberkeley.info/Clerk/City_Council/2018/02_Feb/Documents/2018-02-20_WS_Item_03_Conceptual_Study_for_Undergrounding_-_Pres.aspx …

Or people could pay for this themselves? A stump can be removed without the coordination of state!
