RWE working with Who ? to get cost down to $1000/ KW capacity.

Solar power can be as much as $8 per watt or $8,000 p/KW and as low as $3,500 p/KW capacity (capacity, I mention is the capital cost to build the facility); wind $3,500 p/KW capacity ... however, wind generators are not the best technology everywhere, especially low wind areas.

Algae ... at least RWE is closer to $2,500 p/KW capacity. We are working hard to reduce this to under $1,000 and we, unlike wind and solar, can consume the Nox and CO2 produced by existing coal fired generation plants. The limit to how much energy can be produced with algae is land mass, which to replace all imported oil would require approximately 17 million acres; however there are in New Mexico and Arizona alone about 48 million acres of land that is not used or cannot be used for farming, which makes it ideal for our systems.


Maybe BEHL ? Just kidding, we know it's BEHL
