    What’s the farthest we can transport electricity? Seems like that may be pushing the boundary a bit. I wonder if it would be possible to have a world-wide electricity grid.

      Yes absolutely, feasible is another thing but possible it absolutely is. There already exist worldwide conductor networks.

      You couldn’t have anything cross the ocean because transmission losses would be horrendous, but within the continents would be feasible I think

        The longest transmission line in the world is around 2500km and the Atlantic at its shortest point is around 2800 so it’s not impossible to do it’s more would it be worth it.
