Interesting. And how long do these modern cables last for? What are the upkeep costs? Insurance? And how much value do they add? Of course these bits get left out and of course your data would come from a twitter bro lol. Glad I left that burning valley at my back. If you read my original post, you'd know there was a reason I started off by mentioning the first transatlantic cable—which was completed nearly 170 years ago. Cable laying ships, routes, and cables themselves have advanced quite a bit, nearly perfected. Imagine an idiot telling you in 1858 that telegraph cables were a scam, or in 1992 that internet cables would never get laid across oceans because trust me bro, they're too costly. How has that worked out? Now we're supposed to believe grid interconnectors are a scam because trust me bro, they don't work. Please see the numerous examples and links from my post of either completed projects, projects being built, or projects in planning. I left out at least a dozen more. There seems to be a difference between what I hear on twitter, and what I see in the real world. Going to trust my eyes, the data, and follow the money on this one.
