Well, for 1kW, firewood costs nothing if it can be scrounged.

I prefer the abundance of Texas cattle waste. I can smell it now.

KAMAL AL-RAIS:

What you are asking would amount to a tremendous amount of work !!! Do you realize that ??

The cost of materials is only one part of the over all cost per kilowatt. Other costs are:

- Operating costs for labor, chemicals and other supplies
- Maintenance costs
- Insurance costs

And then there are the amortised costs for building the plant:

- Engineering design costs
- Construction labor costs
- Land costs
