If I said to build a 3000 kilometer fuse and quench it with the entire Atlantic ocean, people would tell me I was being silly.

But given how expensive the wire will be to lay, what about an actual fuse that's cheaper than laying a whole new wire?

  • How much cheaper, and what are the odds of needing the fuse?

    If it's cost effective then go for it. But the specific thing they're skeptical about is whether a 14MV 750A fuse will be cheap enough.
