I just wanted to say thanks for this. Some friends/colleagues are doing related work, and your post let me bring this paper to their attention, for which they were appreciative (and leads me to forward that appreciation to you and to the authors, including @knittelmit.bsky.social).

Transmission discourse is usually: "Build more lines = cheaper + cleaner." This great new paper by @knittelmit.bsky.social and others is spicier: The big tradeoff is cost vs. extreme weather reliability, where interconnection is an insurance policy.
