We just need about 2000 or so of these

for a total cost of about $50Billion.

No more oil required, we can all buy electric cars and we can turn out the coal & gas fired power stations in a couple of years.

And coming back to reality, that is a serious feat of engineering. I want one

I wonder what sort of bulk discount you would get on 2000?
