Superconductors will surely play a major role in the way electricity is distributed and made. In the twenty years of superconducting the temperature of superconductivity point has moved from a few degrees above absolute zero to the 150K mark. Advances through accident or design may well bring this figure within range of operation without the need for cryogenic systems. If the benefits of zero transmission losses can ever be harnessed at or near to normal temperatures, a revolution would occur in the way energy is generated, stored and used.
