All facetiousness aside, one real solution for this is actually pretty simple. All they have to do is allow the utilities to cut brush and trees away from power lines, something currently outlawed in CA. That’s it - all they have to do is cut the same reasonable sized safety zones around power lines they have everywhere else in the US.
Except they don’t have that every place else. I’m in NYS....and there is no clear cutting along the monstrous transmission poles that traverse the state. In our neighborhood, they trim trees to keep them away from the power lines.

Wrong. It is not outlawed.
