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.

I’d love to know the number of PG&E’s unfilled manual-labor type job postings from the last year. Hell, even multiple years. I imagine it’s zero. I may be wrong, but if not, you can’t blame an effort to better margins on the labor shortage.

no anger here. Mostly just explaining the reality of why costs are so high.
