Our HN Launch was number 1 for two days straight 6 years ago, and I wanted to follow up with this huge update - We’ve done it. We now have the technology to revolutionize how energy is used and fuel is made. Our goal is to flood the world with cheap energy that drives prosperity and human achievement.

Yes, only inputs are air and electricity. If you have an equipment payback of only a few years, then after that all fuel is close to opex only. Similar to solar itself.

The second important thing is to make the CAPEX really cheap. That's been the core focus for us for the last 2.5 years since demo day and we're looking at really low costs for equipment now. Hope to announce some new info on this in the next few months.
