Looking at what the US govt spends in their space and military budgets... You really think they'll save any money by doing it themselves?

This is only applicable if you live in a place with very mineralised tap water. A lot of countries have better water quality than the states, so YMMV

You really should read the article, ya know. Your answers were all in there. Anyway, they distinguish between net positive power, which they hope to achieve (hence the grid connection), and commercially viable, which they don't expect it to be.

It's a research reactor. They're building it to further fusion research, with no expectation it'll be commercially viable.

Just FYI, wrapping somebody up in plastic wrap can actually cause death by heatstroke.
The solution is, of course, leave a few inches uncovered here and there so they can ventilate while still being totally trapped.

Seaweed is a delicacy in many cuisines worldwide. I'm sorry you've never eaten anything but fast food
