Big guy, I'd be interested (genuinely) to see your rationale for the $45/barrel cost-to-produce, given the following facts that JBI is claiming. Of course if you dispute any of these facts below, then that's another rationale altogether (and another debate).

. cost of 1 processor = $200k (excl. CapEx for aux equipment...)
. size of processor = 600sqft (excl. feedstock & fuel storage)
. # staff needed to operate 1 processor = 2
. throughput of 1 processor = 20 tons (125 bbl/day) in an 8-hr shift
. cost of feedstock plastic = 0

Using those as a starting point, do you still arrive at $45/bbl OpEx cost, and if so what are your metrics & variables?

Thanks,
Tyk
