Direct burial power distribution

It's been said here that direct burial power distribution is the solution to avoiding future blue-state / California-style power shutoffs.

Maybe so. But underground power costs far more than overhead power, whether new construction or retrofit.

So the moneyed limousine liberals who occupy these desirable locales can be the ones to pay for it. To live in harmony with nature in Colorado, the year 2024, is to allow the natural fire cycle to take its course, including in the foothills. Meaning: not building your tech-funded McMansion there.

Do not expect the rest of us to subsidize your decadent lifestyle.
