I think carbon nanotube conductors and High Voltage DC is more likely.<BR/><BR/>CNTs because they have 1/5th the resistance of copper for equal volume and HV DC because it simplifies intertie problems. <BR/><BR/>Let me think about it for a while and I'll write something more detailed.M.

Something on the order of <A HREF="http://docisinblog.com/index.php/category/series-two-towers/" REL="nofollow">Dr. Bob's series on the construction of the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge.</A> <BR/><BR/>Two questions you may have insights about...<BR/><BR/>What do we know about "super conducting" and does it have any application to bridging the problem of geography (wind power feasibility not close to demand)?<BR/><BR/>And the second question, not related to wind but to power generation, what can you tell us about plasma arc torch technology as applied to blending power generation with waste disposal?Hootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108363655472450828noreply@blogger.com
