Is building a long high voltage line not profitable? It seems like the potential for arbitrage should allow for sufficient profit, but maybe not?

I know there's a lot of blockers, but if there's money to be made I would have thought more people would have worked around them.

It turns out homeowners with veto rights are a lot more powerful than capital in the US.

Could you buy land from existing lower voltage lines? It seems like a solvable problem.
