One thing I wonder about is how far can you be from population centers in practice? I remember hearing that you want to be close or else you lose a lot to transmission but that might not be at all true
- fragmede 4y agoYou make the X vs Y call. Assuming it is material, at some distance the cost of land (X) vs the transmission loss (Y), it becomes economical to choose X instead of Y
- Aloha 4y agoLong distance synchronous AC transmission or HVDC transmission is pretty efficient - enough to overcome the inherent land pricing differential.
