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.
$4-5M mile urban, $3M mile elsewhere, also maintenance is more expensive. Paradise had power again in 4-5 weeks. If it was undergrounded, it would take months.
