Well I didn't mean every house would have one, but rather if one could eventually be made to give off make megawatts of power then you could put few together and power many districts if not whole towns. I mean if they claim that these small thing could make megawatts then their development should be number one priority.
And when it comes to cost competitiveness with conventional means, just remember how much oil and coal really costs us overall. It is the most expensive thing we could use. I mean just in Delhi it was recently reported how toxic air is there that airplanes can't land and you can imagine how that affects human health.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
