Closed loop hydroelectric power station

I wonder if it works? assuming their calculations are correct and not just made up numbers...

I have the feeling that his calculations are best-case-only, and that he moved the decimal point by one place...

Hey, even if the odds are a million-to-one, you are saying there is a chance. :)

This reminds me of Manuel Garcia O'Kelly Davis, the main character of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein: "He's a typical Loonie: independent, apolitical, and willing to bet on anything if the odds are at least one-in-ten."
