| #5 Can't leave them the way they are. Some of those towers are over a hundred years old and in serious disrepair. No matter what PG&E does, it's gonna cost billions but they need to do something. The fires themselves might not be as expensive but the lawsuits will. NoMoreBS might have a good idea. |

| #2 Buying the trenching right-of-way and avoiding other inground utilities, et.al. will cost more than the fires. |
