How is it unlimited ? It takes nickel (and hydrogen gas) and transmutes it into copper. Nickel is not unlimited on earth, is it ? I haven’t seen how much nickel is consumed per kwh produced, but logically you would run out of nickel at some point, right ? You also have to produce the hydrogen from water, natural gas, or some other source. Will it take more energy to produce the hydrogen than the process produces ?

***How difficult is it to get some seawater? Contrast that to Oil. And yet, the amount of energy available from a gallon of seawater is more than 100 times that of a gallon of oil.
