"Underground Power Lines: A Safer Solution?"

The question of burying power lines resurfaces after storms, but the cost and permissions make it infeasible to bury them across the state. Instead, targeted undergroundings have been conducted in high-density corridors and areas prone to storm damage, reducing power restoration time. However, outages will persist as long as storms and trees exist. Some argue that with climate change causing more severe storms, burying more lines should be seriously considered.
