I love that Gridwatch link posted by Ivan 4 - absolutely fascinating. Nice one, Ivan.
I'm not sure how accurate it is though - I turned my kettle on and the needle's hardly moved.

This is nothing new. Mining lasers have been available since the 1980's for 800 credits from any system with a tech level of 10 or more, fuel scoops are available for about 525 credits (tech level > 5). Unfortunately the massive fluctuations in the prices for the mined goods coupled with the time it takes to perform the mining meant I always preferred to trade in alcohol and machinery.
