Ya know, I asked the same thing about Bush and Obama, meself.

Opps! wrong thread!
Actually, for scientific purposes, the system need only achieve a modest rate of return to change the game. If all it does is serve as a "proof of concept" then we're on our way.
I mean if all they wind up with is say a 2-5% net gain; energy in, vs. energy out, then what you have is a whole lotta huffin' and puffin' for not much. Definitely not something you'd want in every basement in town.
We can then move on to the next questions:
1. At what rate of return will the utility companies decide that it p[ays them to invest in perfecting the technology?
2. At what point can we then wrest it from their grasp, and build a simple machine that everyone can keep around the house?
To my thinking
that should be the ultimate goal.
