PG&E PLANS TO BURY POWER LINES

by Bob Walsh

After theri equipment interacting with a fallen tree has started yet another MASSIVE wildfire in NorCal PG&E announced on Wednesday that they are going to bury thousands of miles of their lines, beginning in high risk areas.  They have already buried lines near Paradise, CA. which was for all practical purposes destroyed by a wild fire recently.  

This will cost a buttload of money but will be better for them in the long run than paying a buttload of money out for killing people and destroying property.

Of course it would be nice if CA had a decent forest management plan.  Lack of one definitely contributes substantially to these w9ild fires.  That however is an issue for a different day.
