From what I understand, there is really no fixed price per unit of energy.
I'm trying to get my head around this. We're looking at this technology. The industry is asking for tens of millions of dollars in financial support. However, we don't have any evidence that this technology will be cost‑effective, since we don't yet know the price per unit of energy.
In these circumstances, how should taxpayers and the government consider a new technology for which we do not necessarily have specific evidence?
