Deleted post. Unsuitable commentaryI think one reason for it's failure was the unstable political situation in the northern African states. But there is no such problem in Australia.
Sorry about that. I slipped. You can delete the comment if you like. That's for the bestNo politics or talk of climate please.
Climate is off limits too?No politics or talk of climate please.
There's another major power line project in the works for power transmission from West Central Canada to the USA and if memory serves me correctly they where going to use DC transmission but the USA is AC and the systems need to match so AC is the plan. Those DC transformers and peripherals look mega kOOLOverland, China already has a 3000 km line doing this. Uses 1.1 million volt DC.

So maybe it isn't bat shit crazy.
Yes because it seems as heated as discussing politics.Climate is off limits too?

As long as the distance is not too big and you can build overland it is probably cheaper to use AC, since you don't need those big converters. But at a certain distance the losses with AC get too high and DC is the way to go.There's another major power line project in the works for power transmission from West Central Canada to the USA and if memory serves me correctly they where going to use DC transmission but the USA is AC and the systems need to match so AC is the plan.
