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 cant bury 120 KV lines dont 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 its no big deal but when you talk about high-voltage transmission lines over mountains its a whole different ball game
Makes sense, when you live in this area your infrastructure should reflect it.
