[TowerTalk] DC very high voltage transmission lines

[Nick Pair]

The reason for DC over AC is lower transmission losses. They have experimented with lines up to 1 million volts in the U.S. and we do have some lines running DC now in the states.You can blaim Thomas Edison for all our AC troubles, Tesla had it right.
