Sounds like a great design challenge. Automatic grounding, tension based charge cutting. Grid intelligence, staff reporting, network notifying.

It is land already set aside for energy, already set back from residences, already along the paths of delivery for energy, already often owned directly by government or assigned in law and regulations.

From my #Asheville county government

"This is an important update regarding wildfire activity currently affecting #Buncombe County. Due to recent weather conditions the risk of wildfires has increased significantly in our area.

Currently, there is a 2 acre wildfire in the Dix Creek / Leicester area of Buncombe County. Crews are on scene and the public is asked to avoid the area.

We urge all residents to remain vigilant and take immediate precautions to protect lives and property. "

Over half of US states get more electricity from #cleanenergy than coal.

28 states total, including:

Oklahoma
Kansas
South Dakota

Coal is the worst #fossilfuel for environment (and public health). 20 years ago, over half of US electricity came from coal.

Once again: clean energy investment and policy helps red states, too.
