I believe most transmission conductors are aluminum, costs less, better strength to weight ratio.
I’ve advanced the idea that FF deployment would follow the pattern of:
Repower existing plants sites, reusing transmission, cooling towers and buildings.
Add new FF plants near load centers, transmissions hubs, etc, closes to loads, but still outside urban areas.
In urban areas, in controlled plant sites
Distributed use, after 20-30 years, maybe.
Also Heavy industrial use, following same rough outline.
