Saving £1.4M a year isn’t worth it if it cost £50M to deploy. And the saving per 500,000 homes is what? £3 a year per home.
What a waste of time.

As that’s an artists impression, we need to look at the way we see black holes.
That could be the result of a collision of something on the far side of the black hole. Nothing to suggest it came out of the hole itself surely.
As our pictures of black holes contain as much lights from the obscured far side as they do from the nearside, we can’t really judge what happened.
And at over 600m light years? It’s all a bit fuzzy.

And if it costs a million a year to maintain? The problem is the scale. It’s a rounding error.
