If Californians want reliable power, they have 2 CHOICES - they can bury their power lines underground, and probably see their bills double, or they can allow clearing of brush, so that these intentional blackouts are not needed.

So far they’ve chosen neither of those options.

Don’t try to inject sanity.
You will seriously piss off the Californians.

Look you can’t bury 120 KV lines don’t even think about it

One of the keys and high-voltage transmission is that the lines are in free air and therefore stay cool

Undergrounding residential lines it’s no big deal but when you talk about high-voltage transmission lines over mountains it’s a whole different ball game

Makes sense, when you live in this area your infrastructure should reflect it.
