If we're talking Europe sized countries. But Europe is pretty small relati ely speaking...it's hard to move a lot of electricity thousands of miles without losing too much.
- hackerlight 4y agoFrom Google: "HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km" Seems like small losses for large distances.

And then compete for the supply from the areas that have momentary production, with other areas that don't. Theoretically long distance sounds like fancy idea, but I don't think geopolitics are exactly ready for that yet. At least not on intercontinental scale.
