Nah. We’ll go more primitive. We’ll do all our voltage and AC/DC conversions…mechanically! Do what they did to power DC subway systems back at the start of the 20th century. Just have a big AC motor directly coupled to a big DC generator! And we can use gearing to convert voltages! Let’s bring a needlessly complex and steampunk aesthetic to our electric grid!
