Longer Term Plan - Not PSPS

I understand Xcel's turning off the power. We had power lines snapped in half near our house and a fire in those high winds would be devastating. However, PSPSes can not be the long-term plan. Shutting off power to thousands of customers for days isn't a solution.

We need to have the right infrastructure (i.e. buried power lines) that doesn't necessitate shutoff in high wind areas like along the foothills. We will get high winds again. My wife couldn't work for three days (she runs a small business out of our house) and I had to leave town to get somewhere with internet so that I could work. Our small businesses were severely impacted at a time, the holidays, when they should be incredibly busy, many people had all of their food go bad. The economic impact is in the tens of millions of dollars. We can do better.
