The California utility responsible for the deadliest fire in the state’s history is planning to bury 10,000 miles of power lines as it ramps up for what experts are predicting to be a disastrous wildfire season. 

Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), California’s monopoly utility, announced on Wednesday its multi-year plan to mitigate wildfire risk by undergrounding a fraction of its wires in high-risk regions of the state at a massive cost that will be pushed to consumers.
