The superconducting future

Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: A Power Grid for the Hydrogen Economy

This is a very futuristic sounding idea for a superconducting electricity grid that is cooled by hydrogen. Thus the grid distributes hydrogen as well as electricity. (It is also going to involve new, better designed, nuclear power stations.)

Sounds technically challenging, but still, the future has to start somewhere.
