Wonderful if it works as described! That's quite a bit of power. I'd be very interested to know comparisons in terms of how long a traditional power plant takes to become profitable, and also how much initial investment this project is requiring.


750 million, payback in 11 years.

for comparison, hydro electric costs about $2 million per megawatt so a 200MW hydro plant would be $400 million, but with associated environmental concerns.
