It's a complex issue, but the dumb part is letting the for-profit utilities decide to not provide the power people signed up for because those same utilities can't keep their own equipment from starting fires.

Wow $3M a mile to bury lines is insane. It sounds like that’s the only solution though?

Better deploy some rooftop solar and a battery. Don’t depend on an unreliable grid provided by a criminally negligent and profit crazed corporation.
