What is a feasible timeframe for a super-reactor to obsolete all other energy sources?
A super-reactor was created by SRE, Inc (Super Reactor Energy), and it can provide as much clean energy as needed. There's no way to copy it or make another. It operates without problem or fuel - therefore SRE can sell the energy at a low price - and the competition kills all other energy sources as none of them is economically viable anymore.
Let's put aside the fact that SRE's monopoly would be strictly regulated and controlled by the government. Assume the lawsuit against SRE, Inc failed and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the company.
How long before the chokehold kills all other energy sources and SRE is the sole provider of energy for the nation?
