Yeah, it's gotten extremely complicated over the years. I think the reasoning behind the price to cost-to-produce ratio is so high is to build the infrastructure of his company to allow the quickest mass production and implementation of his technology. Or if the naysayers are to be believed, hes "stealin' yo' money!".
I will be very interested to see what happens when people start receiving their reactors and successfully hook them up to their houses. Even if this 1st gen system reduces electricity consumption by 60%, in my case it would pay for itself in about 10 months. Even then, I may want to wait until the 2nd gen system comes out that does not require a connection to the grid. Since this technology is essentially open source, I may just wait until a US based company starts selling these units at (I'm assuming) a cheaper pricetag.
