What can you power with1 million kw?

The reason electricity is trsnsmitted at very high voltage is to reduce energy loss. As Power = V x I and heat loss = I2 R. Thus if I the current is low the energy lost in the transmission cables will be minimal. The reason electricity is trsnsmitted at very high voltage is to reduce energy loss.

What are the negatives of wave power?

some negatives of wave power is that the devices built to harness the energy of the waves are not adiquite enough to do so. So lots of energy is lost and some is gained. some negatives of wave power is that the devices built to harness the energy of the waves are not adiquite enough to do so.
