According to Grok, it would currently cost about $217,000/gram to convert mercury into gold. Not feasible, if you are intending to set up a power plant for this purpose because gold is worth only about $80/gram.

However, and I’m not advocating for this, it may not be as costly if you are doing it as an add-on to the existing power plant and using waste electricity to do this.

First you need a “fusion power plant” that hasn’t been invented yet.
