I had not understood the line clearance issues to have been a problem on long transmission lines of that size. I had thought the fire claims had been on local subdivision and ag property feeds.
I do see the point you are making but I guess you are grading the apples and I’m juggling oranges.
“Half a million here IS the sale of ANY normal house, you can’t touch a house in CA. for less than half a million”
That has been a growing problem in Utah for years. Retired folks sell in California, buy a home here for less than half and then live well on the rest.
Then they want to turn Utah into another California.
minnesota_bound, I had to open your image in another browser (normally use SlimJet here, a Chrome clone that runs on Xp), namely FireFox, in order to see the image ...
Yeah ... the Camp (Road) fire was (best guess estimate and by supposed witness) caused by transmission, not distribution lines ...
So on the main long distance high lines they have had environmental and state regulations stop the normal clear cutting of trees and brush below?
I had seen such on all the area distribution lines when I was there last year but the foregoing is beyond stupid.
