And at $10-$20 per gallon of algae oil I can see that petroleum is doomed. But with volume the price might drop to......? Only three times the cost of petroleum? Twice petroleum? Wonderful hype, terrible economics.

"And at $10-$20 per gallon of algae oil I can see that petroleum is doomed. But with volume the price might drop to......? Only three times the cost of petroleum? Twice petroleum? Wonderful hype, terrible economics."

And what would petroleum cost if it were produced in the current small quantities that algae oil is??? The price-shrinking effect of "economies of scale" are incredible.
