I think this is a great idea and would like to hear more about the economics. Let's get some engineers involved and have them estimate some costs. I suspect the actual engineering would be less expensive and less complicated than a typical refinery, so that leads me to believe it is the cellulose or whatever is fed in that is the greatest cost. However, that cost should be easy to calculate based upon our tree farm costs and could probably be used to calculate cost savings for larger scale operations. This would give us a dollar/gallon of gasoline cost or cost per barrel or whatever, so that we could compare it to the present costs of oil. Go Venter! You showed us once how to do it cheaper and faster than they said it could be done, so please, show us again!
