Thats good that they are finally doing it.

It looks like its a 15 billion dollar undertaking though which is why it hasn't been considered for vt.

If forest fires become a consideration here we should probably look into it.

Vermont doesn’t seem to have a lot of forest fires because our forests are still green, West Coast forests are tinder boxes and have been browning for decades so fires are a constant problem. Another issue is the massive development in areas that are naturally prone to wildfires and where things are worsened by people being there.
