At EarthGrid, we believe burying critical infrastructure safeguards us from rising incidents of severe weather. In the last decade, California saw almost 200 wildfires caused by downed power lines. This is just one case; nationwide, we must act. Going underground shields us from the effects of severe weather and helps to secure our energy grid.
