ECONOMICSPreliminary Results:
1000 gal bio-reactor will produce approx. 1 gal/wk
Demo-600 sq.ft greenhouse will produce 100 gal/yr 8 ft bio-reactor tubes, instead of 4 ft, will produce
400gal/yr/1000 sq. ftInfra-structure cost $40,000Over 20 yrs, produce 8,000 gal, = $5/gal.
THIS IS STUPID!??

ECONOMICS (2)This is stupid rebuttal.
Enter the Federal Government.US exploration for oil in 2009 costs $79 billion;
global costs were $439 billionShell oil paid $2.1 billion just for the rights for
Arctic leases.US government paid oil and gas industry $36.5
billion in subsidies, equals 1% of oil and gas company revenues.

Economics (3)This is stupid, continued.
The capital cost of the algae-oil project to the Passamaquoddy Tribe, to produce 100 gal of oil/yr for the next 20 years, is $0.00. operating costs = $100/yr= $1/gal
US EPA provides $68 million/yr to federal tribes in IGAP program for environmental departments. $100-120k per tribe/yr. If DOE/USDA Rural Development/DOI provided a
one-time grant of similar size to every tribe, every tribe could produce 100 gal/yr.
Those that want it, scale up to 1,000 gal/yr.

ECONOMICS (4)This is stupid, continued.Thinking bigger:
1000 sq. ft = 400 gal in 8 ft tubes; 1 acre = 17,000 gal, 1 sq. mi = 10,000,000 gal/yr.
(100 ft plus high tubes are being used)Cost guestimate of $1,720,000/acre= $1,2 billion
per sq. mile.LAST YEAR’S SUBSIDIES WOULD PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF 30 SQ. MILES OF ALGAE-OIL BIO-REACTORS, PRODUCING 300 MILLION GAL OF OIL/YR

ECONOMICS (5)This is stupid, continued.Maybe it isn’t so stupid.Carbon-neutral.Exxon-Mobil, arguably the most conservative
oil company, is investing $500 million in algae-gasoline project.
100 sq. mi production = 1 Billion gal = 3 day’s use, 1,000 sq. mi = 2 weeks.Just opened that much area in Alaska last week
for new drilling.
