Fact that the US main power distribution network(eg: pacific DC intertie)runs on DC that we concert back to AC for regional distribution and then back to DC to power our houses like lights, tv, electronics etc. AC is inefficient long distances and still needs to be converted to DC to power our stuff.

Most long distance distribution in the U.S. is AC. AC/DC conversion at high voltage and power is a pain, as is DC/DC voltage change.
