Electric Pipeline Corporation has invented and is developing polymer insulated electric pipelines "elpipes" for transmission of 3-30 GW through a pair of underground HVDC lines. Elpipes fit inside a pipeline that is similar to a gas pipeline, or they may be installed at the surface on conventional or narrow gauge railroad tracks. The train like features of elpipes make them convenient to install and convenient to repair.

US Patent on Elpipes Issued
The August 5, 2014 published version of my US Patent 8,796,552 is 69 pages. I got essentially everything I wanted in this patent, though I also have a now-published continuation patent and additional unpublished patent cases on advanced elpipe designs pending.
