Thanks for your comments John. I agree there is a lot of work to do, to scale it up, but the key point is that it can be started with only a fraction of the funds that a conventional budget excluding proof of work tokens might suggest. If we were to just take the usual rule of thumb of $1 per Watt to estimate the cost of hundreds of gigawatts of solar panels to implement, we might guess hundreds of billions of dollars are required, just for the solar panels alone.

But, configuring solar installations in the scaleable form containing pow token generation described here, there is a point very early in the implementation process when the revenue from already installed facility becomes sufficient to fund the remaining scaling up, with no need for further VC funds and no limits to scale other than availability of land and hardware. The bigger the facility gets, the more revenue is generated, therefore the more rapid the scaling becomes.

Further, in this form it is effectively inflation proof, with time to install to usable revenue being much less, a few months, rather than the years of installation time needed for the whole installation on wholly conventional funding.

I am in process of producing some engineering models to be able to evaluate various scenarios of application but it is complex, so takes time, and I am doing for love (not my usual contract rate!).

Meantime, I've had go at initial estimates for UK, to compare with the nuclear case without models, with some rough manual calculations, given our current circumstances here.
