Maybe it's automobiles, to get more power they went to I think 
14.4 over 12V to help reduce the size of the wires going through 
the car. P=I^2*R afterall, reduce the current a bit and you get 
a lot more latitude with the wire resistance.

Anyway, I have heard a fair bit of talk about cars going 28V or 
such. The first couple of years will be really interesting, but 
life will settle down pretty quickly.

Still easier to deal with the Mil Arospace, don't they use 
something like 54V, 1000HZ AC, probably way off on the numbers, 
but I am pretty sure it's fairly high AC current??
