You have good arguments. anyway, using the grid, or local grid, to average the production capacity, might be interesting. because most of the cost of e-cat/hyperion is not in fuel, or even refueling, but in building the plant.
so reducing the total capacity, will reduce the cost. anyway the grid itself, and the smart grid controller, also have a cost, so it should be analysed. also if LENR is not expensive for home use, it can even be less expensive if managed like big plant. also the buying price of home CHP electricity migh be very interesting, because the grid need it , and it allow the grid to reduce it's max capacity... we have to see how the cost structure evolve... 2011/12/7 Aussie Guy E-Cat <[email protected]> > I grew up supporting the grid and will fight to see it retained.
