Wouldn't that be the point of buying the rights ?

how much will a unit cost?

How big do you want it ?

how big is the unit?

How much money you got ?

how much will a ‘refill’ cost?

That varies with the amount of government legislation.

how much energy will a ‘refill’ generate and for how long?

How big is your unit ?
