With the ever-ongoing ‘progress’ of the proposed UK nuclear power plants, I wonder if this is the best course of action (not just in the UK, but across other nations also)?

Yeah they're are a couple interesting HVDC lines specifically for that so that renewals can cover a wider range of sun and wind zones.

Honestly still less infra then uranium

    Lmao ok

    If I remember correctly, it's about 5 million US dollars per kilometer of overhead high voltage DC lines you run. I'm going to assume that putting those cables under the English channel will cost three to eight times that much being generous.
