But you did say Northern Europe, where our estimates are UK only; add another trillion for France, one for Germany, one for say Ireland+BeNeLux, another for Poland, another for NorthEast-Lithuania+Estonia+Belarus, one or two for Norway, Sweden, Finland... double it for the cost of the electrolyte, maintenance, the fact that building in Europe without slaves and with heavy regulation and expensive land is more expensive than Qatar...
World GDP is only around a hundred trillion, and we're talking of maybe ten trillion of it to build a heating system for Western Europe, for very little financial return for any investors.
Practically, we've been struggling to build one nuclear power plant (Hinkley C) for twenty years. I think it sounds like it is orders of magnitude outside our ability.
