Though you'd need to come up with about eight or ten times the price of overhead lines to manage it. Less digging the trench, I think, than conduiting the line and ensuring connections are permanently watertight. While out of sight and out of mind.
The immediate source of difficulties just all anywhere are California forests shorting the lines. Second place is probably transformer fires.
