An important part of the article mentions bringing down the cost of high-temperature ReBCO tape conductors, where SPARC itself needed more than entire than what existing companies would expect to produce in an entire year. Existing technologies using superconductors like MRI machines, large transformers/motors, and synchronous condensers for power generation have each benefitted from bringing down these costs as the use cases mature. ITER's estimated timeline having a working reactor by 2025 is ambitious, but is also supply constrained in that they're projecting the need for more Nb-Ti and Nb-Tn exceeding current yearly production amounts as well. For reaching the end goal of affordable hyperscale energy production, it's promising to see demand increase in order for new competitors to invest in related research projects.
