- nine_k 4y agoI wonder how their upkeep and bulging expense (especially across difficult terrain) compares to that of the small nuclear power plant described here. We could determine the distance when the HVDC line still makes more sense.
- Gwypaas 4y agoFor true "wilderness" your total addressable market is like a million people. Sweden and Norway have abundant hydro power so they actually export power from north to south. So reduce that to tens of thousands. For southern scandinavia it is already connected through HVDC to Central Europe and more are being built. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumpolar_peoples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumpolar_peoples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle
