Unless market economics collapse entirely, I am less concerned about 
what is possible versus impossible.  It's just a matter of price.  And 
reduced price demands that one make certain engineering assumptions and 
at least optimize toward those choices.

This discussion about CEF perhaps should spur some research.  What
