Perhaps the cost to be concerned with is not fiat currency but more literal.

The up front costs could wipe out the routine costs and maybe we could also dispose of the “ make money selling blades not handles” monopoly fossil fuel monopolies rely on for political relevance.

Infinitely big little numbers let economists iterate forever in whatever direction they want. Physical reality has constraints their academic models omit.

We need to redefine the perimeter not iterate within the area of a well known boundary. Who cares how much it costs aristocrats in profits if the result ends up what is believed possible? I don’t have to believe any given solution or CEO is owed a market.
