JN>  Scott, that is the first time I've ever heard such a statement.
JN>  None of my textbooks (dating back to the mid-50's) mention that.
JN>  Do you have the title of a book that I can look for, and perhaps
JN>  delve into the reasoning behind that theory?
 I would be intersted in the reasoning behind that statement myself. 
Particualrly since many years back 20 or 30 or more. The big thing for 
transmission of Very Large amounts of Megga Watts over transmission lines was 
Super High, 1,000,000+, DC voltages. Back then either Popular Science or
Popular Mechanics had an indepth, Non Super Technical, article how DC was 
better even concidering the Conversion losses.
