Superconducting cables are great in a protected area. The amount of energy carried by those cables will be such that it can really blow up better half of the city. Because you can not see electricity does not mean it is not there.
This country need Electrical Engineers... why
1. 110V, 60Hz Distribution system. Eats more copper and generators got to run faster.
2. Power outlets without any switch ! I can't imagine that. If you want to see the the real power plugs, check what Brits did - the got more senses in that are at least.
3. Power cables without ground--another sin, all two pin cables must be banned.
4. Power shortage in CA ??!! Talk about bad planning and middle management/politicians running the infrastructure.
But, who am I to say, everybody is busy making money in the DOT-COM... no real engineers needed anymore just sit down and code and have some stupid guys keep the cities running.
