World Power Grid:
“This now feasible intercontinental network would integrate America, Asia, and Europe and integrate the night and day, spherically cycling, shadow-and-light zones of Planet Earth and would occasion the 24-hour use of the now only 50 percent of the time used world-around standby generator capacity whose 50 percent unused capacities heretofore were mandatorily required only for peak load servicing of local interconnected energy users. Such continental network integration would overnight double the already-installed and in-use electric power generating capacity of our Planet.”
