and that's the biggest reason why we have loads of copper wire strung around and the transformers and the ever present problem of peak overloads and off-peak underload, and geomagnetic storms causing broad blackouts due to the interconnection of so much generation capacity and exposure to the atmospheric radio environment

it works and is most efficient for a bit more than half the time but when you count the maintenance cost and deployment of such large amounts of wire and transformers and the periodicity of higher frequencies of geomagnetic disturbances there will be times when it will turn out to be less efficient even if more watts are getting to the use location, the cost of maintaining the distribution system will start to exceed the efficiency gain

i'm glad to not have to address the nonsensical issue of carbon dioxide though, that's pleasant

of course it would be great if we could all just have trashcan sized nuclear batteries and all but it's gonna take quite some transition for that, but at least it will actually solve problems versus the idiocy of wind and solar and their quite bad environmental effects that they don't like to mention (like altering the microclimate and precipitation patterns)
