Meredith Fowlie, Energy Institute Faculty Director, has her research featured in Canary Media. She delves into her perspective on the implications of under-grounding power line to mitigate wildfire risk.
“In the public conversation around wildfire risk mitigation, there’s a sense that we should stop at nothing to keep our communities safe,’ Fowlie wrote in her blog post. ’But living in California means living with some wildfire risk. As we prepare to spend billions and billions of ratepayer dollars to underground power lines, a careful weighing of costs, benefits, alternative strategies, and acceptable levels of risk is imperative.”
