You would no longer need high voltages at all. We only use those to cut down on those very transmission losses because we're trying to reduce the amount of current. So you can drop all of the step-up-step-down stuff. On the down side: a short is then practically unlimited in current.

Exactly the point.

We will still need some step-downs, because current density is limited. But we will need fewer of them, and they won't need the monumental cooling they have now.
