I like how there is this giant Russian-Belorussian-Georgian-Azerbajanian-Kaxah-Uzbeki-Tajikistans-Kirgizian grid.
Who said something about USSA being “too big”?
The US eastern grid alone generates more than two times electricity than the former SU grid, and they are both dwarves compared to the chinese one. What do you mean, what is the point of your comment? Most of russia is just taiga forest, it’s big, but doesn’t need electricity.
There are lots of small cities and villages in that taiga. They require some wires anyway.
Similar argument can be made about US.
I don’t see how your post refutes his? Russia is big, but it’s sparsely populated, especially anywhere east of Moscow until you get to Vladivostok. Countries other than Russia in their grid equally if not more so sparsely populated. Top that with disparities in Quality of Life between the two grids, and you find the larger one using less power because it’s services less clients who use less electricity.

Siberia is HUGE compared to anything.
Yes. And USA says “no, we are too big for unified grid and functioning railway, and density is soooo low”.
Thank you for finally replying my question. Not everyone living in amerika, and we don’t know who said something about USSA being “too big”? I have no idea who said that because you are paraphrasing something from your US based bubble. Do we have US defaultism here on lemmy?
What is even USSA, I thought you mistyped USSR… There are a lot of tankies here, I thought we are debating about the Soviet Union again.
Oh and your comparison, it seems my reply was correct. The US grid is by far “bigger” than this former SU grid, but not in geometrical mean,
We call this copium
