Well, Edison was pushing for DC for power transmission along power lines, and it was not suited to it - AC is. DC is good for battery power.

All UHT lines are DC.

Reminds me so much of a loved one we had years ago. Shepard/Chow mix. Solid black. My wife's shadow and soul mate. I swear that dog could read her mind. She tolerated me and all other adults the wife accepted into the house. Without a doubt the best guard dog and companion we have ever had.

That's what TGT is all about, yes?

DC is more efficient for long distance transmission of power and is used as HVDC in long distance lines. It's then converted to AC for local and last mile.

I think you’re wrong. Long lines are A, B, C circuits. Even distribution lines are A, B, C circuitry(A/C).

My old neighbor's son had a parrot that would poop on command. He would just take it outside every once in a while and tell it to poop.

I'm partially (mostly?) wrong, in the US we tend to use AC even for most (but not all) long runs, we just bump the voltage way up to combat line loss. Undersea cables are HVDC though to reduce line loss over those very long distances, DC is more efficient in that regard.
