[Gasification] cost per kW, cost per kWh - was: Re: Ash to land? -separated ash fractions

Dear Greg,
Can you break down your monthly "costs"? Does this include some of your time
as operator, maintenance and repair, and fuel acquisition and preparation?

Regardless, it is a significant accomplishment!
Mark
