That'll get them how much, maybe 10-20 miles? LADWP just paid $130 million for 11 miles of undergrounding (although it was a higher voltage line in an urban area which is a bit more expensive)
- inferiorhuman 7y agoThat'll get them how much, maybe 10-20 miles? Closer to 100 miles. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/pge-underground-power-lines-cost-14503808.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/pge-underground-power...
- cgriswald 7y agoEven if that's all they get, they should think of it as a PR expense. I think spending it on clearing vegetation it would go farther in the short term and go a long way towards taking away the negative talking points about them. That bonus is a big sticking point with a lot of people.
