Like I said elsewhere, what you’re proposing is geopolitically impossible. And the type of overprovisioning need to even come close to solving means you are wasting the vast majority of your power. Ironically, this gives you basically free energy for hydrogen production, rendering all of your counter arguments against it invalid. It’s just a doubling down of the same delusion idea you’ve been peddling for multiple posts now. It’s time to get real.
Not to mention no one has ever built a ocean spanning HVDC line, nor have you seriously calculated how much resources it will take. The alternative is already proven to work and has no such problematic weaknesses. Your opposition to it is just stubbornness.
Finally, as fuel cells are electrochemical systems, they will continue to reach higher efficiencies, eventually approaching 100%. Even now, SOFCs can exceed 70% and even higher if waste heat is used to power a gas turbine. By the time you get around to building the HVDC system of your dreams, the efficiency of the alternative will render it obsolete.
