Burying a mile of cable takes several big machines running diesel fuel (very bad for the environment). Call it approximately 300 gallons of diesel per mile. This plan will burn 300 * 10,000 = 3,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel. This plan is far worse for the environment then simply doing more controlled burns to reduce fire risk.
