I’m sure Be-ill Gates could afford one, but what about the rest of us.
I could see it as a neighborhood project for about a square mile in the suburbs.
Other than that, it looks very expensive to own, let alone refuel.
To put this in perspective, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported in 2012 that a single megawatt of capacity from a conventional power plant can meet the energy needs of 400 to 900 homes in a year.
I guess the best use case for one of these is to power a small rural village in a remote place which doesn't have access to the traditional electrical grid or infrastructure
You could put it anywhere there are high tension lines to accept the load. Cities have these lines, too.
The problem would be for the electric companies is that this is a decentralizing move that they would not like to happen to their business, at all.
This is a big deal for co-production of heat, too. They can park these things almost anywhere.
