It’s interesting. I think the real way to do this is gradually scale up. Crossing the ocean is hard mode. Instead start by something much shorter and land based. Then you at least have a stable platform to work on and can focus on the other hard problems
It seems like every landmass should at least have a huge east/west power line to lengthen the daylight hours as much as possible
In 1st world countries, land based cables often cost more because you have thousands of people along the route who all don't want a power line through their small village.
