What are the losses for grid transmission ? I dimly remember reading that high tension wire transmission was itself only 30% efficient (i.e. ~70% of the eleectricity fed in is lost as heat in long-distance transmission) Can anyone confirm/deny that? If so, distributed power generation (solar/generator, or hydrogen/FC when feasible) would more than offset the greater efficiencies of utility-scale generation, no? Thanks for the perspective, michael ! Craig
