A 3000 km HVDC interconnect loses only 10%. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current The physics works out just fine. Where did you get your information from? See also: "On the technology front we have covered significant ground in the past two decades. We have raised power capacity from 50MW to more than 1,400MW – enough to power several million households. We have enhanced voltage levels from 80kV to 525kV, thereby increasing distance capability from 70km to over 1,000km. And at the same time we have continually brought down transmission losses which are now at less than 1 percent." https://eepower.com/news/abb-doubles-hvdc-capacity-and-celebrates-20th-anniversary/ https://eepower.com/news/abb-doubles-hvdc-capacity-and-celeb...
