Your electricity bill might be greater than the value of the produced gold though.

You can indeed turn lead into gold; it will indeed be more expensive than it is worth; also the gold will be radioactive.

Gold is sold by weight, so those extra neutrons are pure profit.

Unfortunately all the heavy isotopes of gold are unstable and will decay in a few months.
