From Silver news "The silver Institute"
On the horizon is a new use of silver for electric power distribution with enormous potential; silver as a barrier-coating for superconducting wire.
The new superconductors are brittle metal oxides and to use them requires a flexible package and a hermetic protective coating. Silver has been
found to provide this protective coating with the ductility, conductivity, and non-reactvity required.

The potential uses for silver-sheathed super-conducting wire range from the largest electric motors to toys. According to industry projections, the
HTS superconductor market could reach $150-$200 Billion in a few decades, and silver will be a major part of that market consuming massive
quanties of Ag.
