Undergrounding
The most appropriate way to minimise fire-risk and the damage to critical infrastructure would be using underground cables.
HVAC vs HVDC alternate
The fundamental reason that these projects are able to efficiently and economically achieve long distances underground, is because they use Direct Current (DC), rather than alternating current (AC).
Agricultural Impact
