Good call, IMO, for Xcel to cut power to customers tonight with potentially 100 mph winds. Better an extended outage than another massive wildfire. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/04/06/xcel-power-shut-off-wind-fire-danger-boulder-gilpin-larimer-douglas-broomfield-jefferson/
But it does raise again the issue that there are a *lot* of reasons for undergrounding lines, and although it's very spendy, IMO it's an appropriate sort of public spending. Esp. in an age of increasing weather weirding due to climate change.
