How about better maintenance of what is there, as well as better maintaining of combustible debris on the right of ways for those lines so that when sparks do fall from equipment there is lesser chance of starting a fire?

Fires is a natural thing out there, but man has tried to stop them and allows a large accumulation of tinder to develop so when a fire does occur it is a big fire.
This is California where logic and science don't matter.

There is nothing in human civilizations which can beat this :love:



Once experienced, you don't go back.


In any case Cali is doing the right thing IMO.

How the heck has this thread gone on for this long? The OP proposition to bury all overhead lines is hands down one of the most insane, misinformed, impractical and unhinged hypothetical opinions I’ve heard in a while…
