In all the conversation about PG&E's looming bankruptcy, I feel like Californians grossly underestimate the costs of adapting our energy grid to climate change/wildfire. It's $4-5M/mile to underground lines, $5K/stump to remove hazardous trees. PG&E did 451K of them after 2016.

but basically, the whole point of my initial statement is that this is going to be really, really expensive and you can be mad at PG&E, we can nationalize it, etc. But at the end of the day, we're going to have to deal with this very large expenditure & change in mindset.

Sadly, rural areas cost more. Maybe not per mile, but per person.
