400mm2 ACSR is $650 per metre per phase
Look at around $200,000 minimum

Are you a "power consultant" troll, or just a regular troll?

Would be useful if you'd back up your statement with reasoning unless your
intent is just to attack. It's not ridiculous when there are no other
feasible options.

I didn't ask if cost effective. I asked if feasible. As already noted, when
no other alternatives exist (and I've had experts out to survey my property
for wind, solar, and microhydro, by the way, cost isn't a driver.

Absurd, unsubstantiated statements like yours waste others' time. Your
comments are so far out of line with everything other experts have told me
it's not funny. Are you anti-renewable energy or something?

He's probably responding to the complete lack of relevant info you've offered.
His answer would be completely correct if it was a very high power installation.
Come on, don't be shy how many kW do you have in mind and what working voltage ?
