And the reason there is because they’re air insulated, so you’re not using insulation so you can run more current through them. And it’s the cheapest way of moving power from A to B. Like you cannot compete with it.

2024-12-23 12:31 It is just a really economic way of moving power from A to B. The issue is, in the developed world, a lot of people don’t like looking at them. If they’re there, they’ll accept them, but if they’re coming, they’ll worry about them and there’ll be a lot of confusion, all sorts of shenanigans going on.
