PG&E's infrastructure is regulated as are their charges to customers. People living in England may not understand this. If customers tell the California Public Utilities Commission they want their lines placed underground, the CPUC directs PG&E to make the changes and authorizes an increase in customer charges to pay for this. Individual communities always have the option of requesting these changes for their area, as some do periodically. Silicon Valley mountain communities have not yet chosen to authorize this change, as you think they should, but they can do so at any time if they change their minds. Underground requests are also made by real estate developers and they pay the cost of the work and charge more for the homes. Without these changes, the few sociopath customers who want their electricity on regardless of how many people die as a result will be ignored.
