My question is that if we were to have a brand new electrical system,
common to all areas, what would, or could, it be? Still AC? 300 volts?
Different frequency?


I doubt there's any such thing as an "ideal" system you could roll out
world-wide. There are pros and cons with all systems before you even
get to considering regional and national particularities.


Any sane system can do the task. A large spreadsheet should be able to work out what's cheapest.
