Built a deck for my mom and it was hell getting the footings in . Eventually rented an auger and a jackhammer. Auger to rock and then jackhammer the little shit out of Che way until I was a good 4’ deep. Really sucked.

This isn't California, In cali, that downed line could burn counties and towns, that's expensive for the power companies insurance, here, it's just a few thousand people losing power, cheaper to fix it when it breaks

Actually, no, every time they have to make a repair, it costs.

California also has plenty of aboveground power. It seems like a good % of the forest fires are blamed on PG&E infrastructure.
