Every advantage is gain. Its also more corrosion resistant than copper.

Isn't silver's edge in thermal and electrical conductivity over copper very slight though?




Yes, and silver is not very malleable meaning it is stiff, hard to bend and will break more easily. Aluminum is a worse conductor but is cheap so power companies use it for transmission lines. They will not be using silver for electrical wires any time soon except in very limited circumstances.

Super conductive technology has moved forward in leaps and bounds. The savings in electricity costs are starting to come close to the cooling costs. Room temp superconductors should be around soon.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

For sure there are going to be applications where 6% more conductivity is worth spending many many times more money, but otherwise copper does a pretty damn good job. They both are leaps and bounds better than the next runners up.

Silver is a byproduct of the copper industry :themoreyouknow:
