alt Hacker NewsTalking about losses is a sign of ignorance. Generally a comment making that point can be ignored. Losses are a point that people repeat: maybe because it "makes sense".
operating at median loads, transmission losses over a distance of 1,000 miles generally range between 6% and 15%

Yes, that's why I mentioned the capacity issue as well. While losses aren't significant, they do matter. Especially when we are talking about a 1600 mile distance.
