I've always said (relatively) small sized matter/antimatter or thorium pebble beds at  each house, along with solar at each house at minimum has to happen and isn't up for debate. I guess the powers that be with more brain rot than fungi found on a wet log  "know better" (*caugh NIMBY to cow-tow room temperature IQ caugh*)

If there are a few more big fires caused by electrical distribution, perhaps people will demand that utilities facilitate microgrids?

PG&E has been busy undergrounding major lines.  Of course, they and the CPUC have customers foot the bill after their bankruptcy.

Another reason to go solar and have storage at home.   Lots of sunny days in Santa Fe -- at least when there isn’t smoke from the fires.  

I'm a big fan of a (more) distributed grid... today the duststorms and the pilups of tumbleweeds would have been a problem as well.
