That one was about 160,000 USD. They are pretty expensive to built.

“Explores” means they are looking into it and “sources say” means somebody told them. If I had to guess, a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists are working hard on making it happen and at least somebody “explored” the option, which can just mean “yeah that is dumb” or “we should really do that”.
