It is sufficient for physicists or engineers to just say it is 10x as a first-order approximation. AC suffers from more losses at long distances. It is also quite expensive. Both HVAC and HVDC are more expensive than pipelines: https://www.apga.org.au/sites/default/files/uploaded-content/field_f_content_file/pipelines_vs_powerlines_-_a_summary.pdf You cannot fudge your way around the facts. If HVAC was really that much cheaper, there would never be HVDC connections in the first place.
