I just meant that you can't resurrect something that has never died. So I didn't understand the editorial comment in the title.

- frabbit 9y agoHi-voltage DC lost out in the struggle with AC for power transmission. Now it is "getting a new lease of life" or being "resurrected". The title is an attempt to allude to this in a concise manner.
- upofadown 9y agoDC entirely won for long distance power transmission. You might be thinking of the situation in the early 20th century. There was no previous use of DC for power transmission over any but very short distances because it was not possible to increase the voltage without the use of transformers. Transformers only work with AC.
