> Crossing west-to-east Europe with electricity is already loosing 30% of it. Let's transport electricity from Australia to India ! From the DESERTEC website: > For long transmission distances direct current transmission is superior to alternating current. Alternating current has high losses due to capacitive and inductive resistance, which do not occur in direct current transmission. With that technology, a 3000 km line (for example Cairo to Munich) has losses lower than 10%.
