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.

last year the grid operator canceled $2.6B in transmission projects b/c local solar and efficiency lowered the need for them. All ratepayers would have had to cover those costs so your neighbor's solar & efficiency saves you money https://www.transmissionhub.com/articles/2018/03/caiso-board-of-governors-approves-2017-2018-transmission-plan.html …
