Doyle;
I'm not disputing that conventional HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current)  
can do the job.  What though I am saying is that current power grid  
needs to be replaced.  And super conducting power lines would be an  
obvious candidate to start building as a trial to replace the capacity  
limitations of the current technology.  But as in anything costs  
rule.  I'm not going to post any more articles.  The argument ought to  
be as you stated the costs merits of what is to be done.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
