I actually tend to believe that buried HVDC is the future of long-distance power transmission. We might be able to pull off that this transitions from a niche technology to the mainstream, like we did with photovoltaics (at the cost of 200 G€). Let’s see...
I wonder what a world with 5V DC distributed within the house would look like. All of those power adapters are both ugly and a PITA. Of course that wouldn't have to come in from the grid, but still.
