Aside from the $0 million price tag, I wonder how much one might need
to spend for a maintenance contract and insurance...
...and how much might need to be spent on licensing.
You weren't thinking of putting it in /my/ back yard, were you? :)

OF course not. I want one all to myself. You can play with your fair
weather solar toys all you like. I want to pull rods and rock and
roll all the time!

That's a worthwhile distinction, and you got it /almost/ right. The
solar heating panels I have work whether the weather is fair or not -
and the important word here is "have"...
...I'm like you in that I want to have limitless (paid for) power
available on demand - but sadly, the important word here is "want".
It'll probably take me a while to scare up the $0 million... ;-)

Does this mean we have to have a geothermal dump-load well to use the excess
energy when we are not running our peak load? Can the ground take that much
heat?
My pool has already has a huge lime ring when it evaporated dry from the
last one they said would get approval back in the 80s.
