$628.000 is not exactly shoestring budget.

Maybe not as much as others are using but I would say by far the most university research groups couldn't afford that.

    Not in terms of energy use, ~110 Megawatt hours. Even if you multiply that for production costs, test training runs and such, its less energy than an airline flight, or the yearly power consumption of a few homes. And it only needed to be done once.

    It's not a trivial financial cost though, no.
