Not sure where to sign up, but here's a SWAG at cost based solely on the article.
Given the parameters described in the article:

0.05 $/kwh cost per electricity generated
200kw power output
40 year lifespan (of course they said "up to". I guess that means it works until it breaks?)

It should cost in the neighborhood of 3.5 million. I'd be happy to take one and use it for all my power needs and sell the extra back to the power company. I pay more than 0.05 per kwh already. Of course you'd have to convince me that it was safe and actually met all the claims.
