So at $750 million a pop, that's a little over $550 billion to power US homes. Or, roughly 50% of the annual budget of the military to power all US homes for 80

So at $750 million a pop, that's a little over $550 billion to power US homes. Or, roughly 50% of the annual budget of the military to power all US homes for 80 years!
Clearly back of the envelope numbers, but definitely something to be excited about.
- ahlatimer 15y agoWell, you can't only have these things powering US homes because I can't imagine they work that well at night.
- erikpukinskis 15y agoThey do actually.
- savramescu 15y agoTruth be told, the article doesn't say how well they work at night. I don't think that it'll work just as good, but that doesn't mean it won't work at all.
