  • Here in California, they started using insulated wire for all of them a few years ago after a big fire in 2018. They recently replaced a bunch of poles near me and I'm not even in a brush area. I guess it's not as much priority in the Midwest, but Hawaii should have followed California's lead.

  • Other power companies have started replacing poles and lines to meet new safety standards. If these same lines were in California, they probably would have already been replaced. Ideally, other states should learn from the 2002 national standard and the 2018 fires and not wait until it happens in their own backyard.

  • If it wasn't "blown out of proportion" then many things would not have been fixed, and many of them would have broken, causing some of the very things that seemed blown out in the media.

    But by perhaps November 1999, there was media coverage which was both panicked and unhelpful. Most code had been fixed by that point, and what wasn't fixed wasn't going to be.
