As the situation develops the existing lines that are judged to to be no longer
needed will be allowed to lapse.

do remember that focus fusion power is entirely dispatchable: there need be no excess power, at all,
since you can adjust number of pinches/second as demand requires.

so, really, the question becomes
whether it is cheaper, or safer, to deliver a fusion generator, and install it, than to distribute power to a needy neighbour over wires.

returning to the topic,
a lot of waste heat really should be made a resource rather than be waste, at all.
