The ten years refers to the time it will take for PG&E to bury all their thousands of miles of transmission lines, much of which traversed remote areas. Complicating it might be acquiring thousands of miles of whatever exotic materials are needed to insulate hundreds of kilovolts from the earth in which it is buried. Not at all pathetic.
It is indeed pathetic for a state to undertake actions which causes its citizens to have to go through pain like this, most of which is preventable in the first place. What other state suffers likewise?
I am not hammering you. I am hammering a state which, for example, prioritizes the welfare of a rodent instead of humans, like I observed when I worked In the San Joaquin Valley. It has consistently prioritized environmental issues instead of a reliable and safe power supply for its citizens.
And what we are seeing are the effects of this prioritization.
