World’s largest electric cable close to power, could light 1.4 million homes | A high voltage direct current cable will connect UK homes with fresh green energy from the wind farms of Denmark.::undefined

The cable length is 765km, in the Canadian province of Manitoba we have a 900 km transmission line built in the early '70s which was one of the first.
Huh. I’ve just always heard that AC is the better way for long distances. TIL

It makes me want it more. That really should be the marketing for renewable energy. Everyone likes “fresh”
… especially republican men.
