Where are you going to find 750,000 ac. to build a 10 meter deep reservoir with a 100 meter fall? Plus this is using 100% efficiency. When in practice you are lucky to get over 60%. Look up Raccoon Mtn in Tennessee.

TVA's reactors are all owned by the government and they cost far more to build than the private ones. This was decades ago, but the government hasn't gotten more efficient in that time.

I wonder if this would be true for all types of pain? For instance, the comment offering the gut punching service, would that type of pain actually lower your appetite?
