Just so we can put in context what Defkalion are saying about the
45 kW Hyperion system, here is the LCOE based on the installed
price of EUR 5,500 and thermal MWhs generated at $3.95 / MWh or
$0.00395 / kWh: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/
_RNurYKnwzoKkBzY1KKyx9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink The
heat price of $0.00395 / kWh is so low as to not matter in any
practical sense. Does this mean we may see LENR generated heat used
for bulk space heating / cooling and industrial process
requirements, with LENR electricity generation used only for
electrical devices. Interesting how the various cost components
relate in the pie diagram.

Nice graphic!
The main difficulty with economic analysis, especially comparative
economic analysis, in this era is the difficulty predicting the
availability (physical or political limitations) and future cost of
carbon based fuels. The full effects of global warming and Hubbert's
peak have not been felt, or even generally recognized.
