Good one Sweeny, but I don't think that the ROTFLMAO effect was what you intended.

How many people live in James Bay, Churchill Falls, around the WAC Bennett Dam, or around the proposed location of the Site C dam. Large amounts of solar and wind power are transferred routinely between Europe, the UK and pumped storage facilities in Norway. BC's geography is similar to Norway, making it ideal for storing surplus USA nuclear and thermal power at low demand times.

Line losses are overcome by using Higher Voltage.  The Rural Electrification Program back in the 1930s used 6900 volt distribution. Today BC hydro routinely used 24 kilovolts for distribution to pole top transformers.
