Revolutionising power transmission.

The energy transition solutions of the 21st Century will take many forms, with a complex mix of different power producers. Moving energy across ever greater distances will overcome much of the intermittency of renewables like wind and solar. The way we will achieve that is via truly mind boggling high voltage direct current transmission systems. The question is, can we manufacture them quickly enough?
