36. There are materials that superconduct at very low temperatures.

For anything but scientific exploration, they are virtually useless. But if the temperature for superconducting is brought closer to the temperature of your refrigerator, then there is a sea change in the possibilities of what can be done, from new energy sources to greenhouse gas capture and a vast number of applications between. The net value of materials that have ultra-high temperature superconducting capability would be so large that it would not be practical for companies to buy the base technology, only governments could manage that.

There are groups racing to develop ultra-high temperature superconductors, one of those groups will eventually unlock secrets that were once considered non-existent. I come from a mindset that the solutions to all that ails us already exists, we just have not discovered those solutions yet.

You can LOL if you will, it means nothing to me.
