Current world population is about 7 billion. Divided by 3 gives roughly 2 billion households. 2 billion home power units @ $2000 each is 4 trillion dollars + maintenance income. Granted many of those 7 billion are currently too poor to afford $2000, but that will change as the economic boost generated by CF creates millions of new jobs, (and homes to put the units in ;) .
