Let alone the transmission lines totally catching fire after a 10X output increase.

Where are you getting this information from?

Although I’m hardly an expert on power lines(my factory produces HV switchgear), a 1s short circuit current rating of 10x(actually more) is normal, standard to IEC norms.

I think they meant 10x current not 10x voltage, so no arcing.
