I agree, the market will decide the optimum scale and location for these types of generating facilities for the best economy.
The risk is that govs will intervene with tax credits and regulations to influence how and where energy is produced - this invariably leads to distortions and inefficiencies. Tax credits and deductions for solar panels and electric cars being notable examples. ----- Original Message ----- From: Axil Axil To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 7:30 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:The first real NiH reactor We are talking the cost effective generation of electricity here. Let us draw proper lessens from recent history and current reality. If the production of electric power was more cost efficient in the individual home, then natural gas turbines would be now found in everyone’s basement; but there are no home centric gas/electric home generation products on the market. The big centralized natural gas turbines operated by large electric utilities are now and will always be the low cost provider. The idea that the independence of the individual is critical in the upcoming peak energy apocalypse according to the green renewable power doctrinaire is false. So it is extremely important that this groundless green concept must not be transferred to LENR electric power production. NiH power production is a highly concentrated nuclear based form of power production. In the same way as fission power, high COP and huge economies of scale can be translated into ultra-low cost centralized electric power production by statewide or even regional electric utilities.

Yup. Well said. see the nuclear reactors, working at low temperature for incresed safety and simplicity... LENR is even less expensive about consumption. I agree. I was going to make these points. - Jed
