Do you have any idea how expensive that is?

A dozen meters?! HA

Typically it's a hundred yards on either side of a high voltage line. And with the liabilities P&G is facing, I'd clear cut a hundred yards on either side of medium voltage lines too.

That's a 1km^2 of cleared forrest for every 10 km of line. California has (tens of?) thousands of km of lines.
