MacDonald wondered whether the U.S. grid might be able to overcome intermittency problems if it added high - voltage, direct - current (HVDC) transmission lines — which suffer less energy loss than do traditional alternating - current transmission lines — to connect regional grids, so that power could be moved to where it was needed.

She and others have also proposed Colstrip explore less carbon - intensive ways to send power down the valuable twin, 500 - kilovolt transmission lines originating at the plant.

Compared to other continuously variable transmission (CVT) technologies — toroidal, push belt, hydromechanical and chain — the NuVinci CVP is less complex, has fewer parts, offers more stable control and scalability across product lines, and is less expensive to manufacture and assemble, according to Fallbrook.

With a bottom - line base price of less than $ 25,000, the GTI doesn't cost all that much more than economy - minded small hatchbacks, yet it offers a sportier, more exclusive look — as well as a good list of standard features and a more athletic driving feel.This model sets itself apart with affordable performance, great steering and handling, Athletic, responsive driving feel, impressive fuel economy, straightforward, practical, and spacious interior layout, and excellent DSG transmission

The current decayed state of US transmission infrastructure actually can lead to an opportunity: we can convert from AC to DC, meaning less line loss due to reactive power leakage.

And a February report by Midwest grid operators estimated it would cost as much as to $ 80 billion to build transmission lines to carry wind power generated in the Midwest — which could help boost the country's wind power share from less than 1 percent today to 20 percent by 2030 — to where it's needed (see Wind Growth Could Cost Eastern U.S. $ 80B in Transmistransmission lines to carry wind power generated in the Midwest — which could help boost the country's wind power share from less than 1 percent today to 20 percent by 2030 — to where it's needed (see Wind Growth Could Cost Eastern U.S. $ 80B in Transmission Lilines to carry wind power generated in the Midwest — which could help boost the country's wind power share from less than 1 percent today to 20 percent by 2030 — to where it's needed (see Wind Growth Could Cost Eastern U.S. $ 80B in TransmissionTransmission LinesLines).

That may be slightly less obvious, but it isn't subtle: two thirds of electric energy goes to heating the plant and the transmission lines.

Yes, there are places in the United States where the sun is likely to shine on an un-obscured basis far more often than in other places, and transmission via HVDC lines (rather than AC) has materially less loss over long distances (and is convenient for solar since a solar cell generates DC power in the first place; as such it requires only one conversion, to AC at the receiving end, if HVDC transmission is used.)

The transmission lines within each state tend to be less of a constraint.
