Each individual generator requires walk-around-space for servicing. I don’t know if the shells could be packed in closer together, but I doubt it would make much sense, for safety and operational reasons.

As for the wagon trains, hey, dramatic stuff will happen, but it’s not the road to acceptance and success. It’s the economics. Clean and quick helps, too.

Speaking of the money: your savings calculations require a base to compare the current costs to, as I mentioned. Even a line like, “Installed cost per Watt and output pricing will both be at most 1/20 of current normal market prices,” inserted before your numbers, would allow them to make sense.

New edit beefed up the headline and broke up the 18 bullet points into several small groupings with intro lines.

I like that installed costs qualifier. Look for it in the next edit. Walk-around space and rain protection, as well as instant relief complexes would be easy using trailers with fold-out sides, at least around the generators. This would automatically place trailers around 16 feet apart.

Even though I made a compelling (I hope) case for the economics- including shorting energy futures, and implying shorting competitors’ stocks 😉 ,look for a series using C-130s for their wagon train as the probability of unity gains traction in the popular culture.

Edit- new edit’s up.
