You might be right. So let's take a look at the inputs.


The largest input for producing algae oil is sunlight. As far as I know, that's free.

So then it's nutrients...poop, pee, and CO2. Anyone know where these can be had? I mean, how do greenhouses operate? Just how in the world do they make dry ice? I bet there's a show on Discovery Channel about the mysterious substance known as dry ice, I'll have to google it later. And setting your PBRs up to take the dried biomass that's been oil squeezed and put the pellets into digesters to burn and create more CO2 to loop back in, well, that's just plain crazy to think someone would want to do that.

Closed loop system means land. How much does an acre of desert land run? And then of course, there's the excavation, grading, basin set up, water lines, electrical set up. Now THAT could be expensive, especially if you set your PBR up outside of the cost sharing structure the DVJ farm allows you to partake in.

I think you're on to something here ruke. Can you tell me how you came up with 5 times the price?

Think it's funny how all the people come out of the woodwork bashing the cooling mechanism that BEHL has been developing/testing for years now.

- Let's not forget that when Dennis snapped those pictures of Death Valley Junction in Q1 of 2009, he stated that there would be a liquid aquifier below the surface. (in the ibox)

- Let's not forget that the PBR in SJC had a "lower tank" (or liquid aquifier) for cooling - housed inside the building. (in the ibox)

This plan has been in motion for quite some time, and it's been present at every stage of development.

And now our client (who has seen more than any of us EVER will) is putting down a lot of money because he believes that it'll work.

Money talks.

That would depend. If they go with solar then it is just the cost of the solar system with the cost going down with every gallon they produce, right?

I am sure it takes more energy then people expect. The thing is there are a lot of things here you are not considering.

Behl is not really in the business of oil. They are in the business of PBRs.

Yes it still matters how much it costs to make the oil for the end user but consider what they are actually making. Algae not oil.

They can extract the oil and sell it for a profit.

Then they can sell the husks as feed stock and bio mass.

They can sell carbon credits.

They can absorb waste products from smokestacks and waste water if they are near by and profit from that service then all the feeding is free.

In most of the places they would place a PBR there is solar and wind power available. The areas of the property is not covered with PBRs,could generate their own power and/or sell the power back to the grid.

They can sell the algae without extracting the oil and sell just the algae for food and a million other products including as bio mass as "crude oil" to biodiesel refineries

With other tech involved there are a lot of possibilities for energy generation.

There is always more to the big picture If you open your mind to the possibilities you will see why there are a lot of longs in this stock
