Electrical energy can be transmitted over long distances, but there is a problem. A lot of energy is lost in the transmission line wires due to the resistance of the conductors. Consider the formula

Q=I2RtQ=I^2Rt

The energy that is uselessly dissipated in space is highly dependent on the current, so it is tried to reduce as much as possible.

I=UR;I=\frac{U}{R};

The only way to reduce the current is to increase the voltage. Then the transmitted power does not change.

Is it a reasoned argument?
