- ben_w 3y agoBig deal as in value, yes indeed. Big deal as in expensive? Grid as a whole, not the wire itself, that's the point. I'm seeing headlines about the USA needing to spend ten times that to modernise their grid. It isn't unreasonable to suspect the USA's grid modernisation could, for a very small increase in material cost, turn it into part of something much grander. Big deal as in a political PitA at every level? Yup.
