18:51 < muurkha> I think the difficulty with EGS right now is that even in the best case, with supercritical steam, its cost depends on the cost of the same steam turbines used in nuclear and coal plants
18:51 < muurkha> and those are too expensive to compete with PV now except in special cases
18:53 < muurkha> it's true that the available energy is many orders of magnitude larger than wind or solar
