Virgil Davis Hunt @vrgldh - PG&E estimated that it would cost about $20B to bury 10,000 miles of its transmission and distribution lines back in 2021.
There are ~4.5M miles of unburied local distribution lines in US. Based on PG&E's estimate, it would cost $9T to bury every distribution line in the US.

Regarding all these power and internet outages— I will never understand why we don’t bury the cables and electric lines like they do in the United Kingdom.
1) They are unsightly.
2) It protects them from the elements.
It doesn’t have to be like this, America.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa - I held a daily coordination call and received reports on the consequences of Russian strikes and ongoing restoration work. In the Kyiv region, a Russian drone struck a residential building in Bilohorodka; two people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. A four-year-old child was rescued. Assistance is being provided to those affected by this strike.

Significant power outages for consumers continue in the Kyiv region. In Kyiv, the number of buildings without heating has been partially reduced. As of today, there are more than 700 such buildings in three districts of the capital. Repair crews are working at maximum capacity. Crews from almost across the entire country have been deployed to assist the capital. However, much greater speed is needed in decision-making at the city level in Kyiv.

There was also a report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on assistance and the provision of hot meals at assistance points and warming centers – yesterday alone, 6,200 people received hot meals. Sufficient resources remain in reserve to expand the capacity of assistance points and warming centers, as well as the volume of hot meals, if necessary.
