Seems like the equator would make a perfect location for a wind farm. Looking at this map that was posted above, just have rows and rows of them that follow the equator.

    What's the farthest we can transport electricity? Seems like that may be pushing the boundary a bit. I wonder if it would be possible to have a world-wide electricity grid.

    You couldn't have anything cross the ocean because transmission losses would be horrendous, but within the continents would be feasible I think
