Indeed…however if the predictions on the ultra-low cost per unit and per kWh hold true…you can bet that there will be millions of them built and then much more overall waste heat will be produced as we consume orders of magnitude more power in our society due to the near-free cost of it 😉 That old supply-and-demand curve thing.

No one would ever need more than a megawatt.

Just as no one would ever need more than 640K bytes of memory in their computer.

ROFL absolutely!

How’s this scenario- 20 years from now, (if that) when the X-ray converter engineering is cut-and-dry, and ever smaller, lighter packaging become THE competitive advantages for FF factories, the electric air car will become the new Model T. Imagine at least one FF in every garage or back yard…

Yes and I can see implementation of the Moller-skycar finally becoming a reality. And people will still be talking on their cell phones while driving/flying and applying their make-up. Only instead of having a fender bender as a result, they will come crashing thru your roof.
