Now compare that to high voltage power lines if you're interested. "HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km (620 mi)" (Wikipedia)
If you're interested, modern HVDC transmission is really efficient on long distances. "HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km (620 mi)" (Wikipedia)
Life of Boris has a funny (and actually useful) series on budget cooking if you're into that. Great watch imo
