So either it's 5 billion people paying 60-80, or 500 million people paying 600-800/month, or something in between + a little extra.

The payback period would be 5-10 years at those prices($60-$80/mo), which is pretty normal.

Isn't the 650 billion required per year, so the monthly cost is automatically 12x

You're right!

But we're still short on 26%
