that's why he did not do it

More true words could not be spoken.

On the KBLB website it states:

Teams of other scientist around the world have worked on other ways to produce spider silk including using genetically engineered e.coli bacteria. That work is scientifically sound, but with production costs that could exceed $100,000 per kilogram, it is difficult to see how these programs could capture a significant part of the textile market. Kraig is able to produce its genetically engineered spider silks, including Monster Silk™, at less than 1% of that cost.

In today's article:

cost less than $68 per pound ($150 per kilogram)

In a phone conversation several months ago,Kim gave me a "hypothetical" that was lower than that.


Now i'm all for hearing both sides of an argument but as the "competitors" haven't provided as much as a "ball park figure" I have no data to present....


Nevertheless, those in the spider silk fiber business have a new figure to contend with.
