Although stringing it up is non-trivial, as I'm sure you're aware. If there were a such thing as a long range, superconducting wire, our energy needs would be solved in short order, since we could turn the bottom of the ocean into a thermal pump. Unfortunately, concentrated energy just doesn't work right now. I think for this reason (among others), materials science is going to be a great field for young engineers to get into in the coming decades. Sure, it's boring to work in materials science research, but the end products are well worth the effort, if successful.Well, and string it up.
