Gothic Solar Greenhouse, 18’x 20; $
10
Costs 18’ x 10’ x 24’ greenhouse: $4, ” x 6 ft acrylic tubes = $3,760 Air pump=$ CO2 supply $500 Plumbing= $3,000 Floor and sill= $600 Extraction process= $4,000 Installation= 40 $800 TOTAL = $17110, rounded up to $20k 11
Summary Projection and hopes: If capital and installation costs = $20k; operating costs = $20/month or 100/year And oil production is 400 gal/season, over a 15 yr period oil would be $3.58/gal. (Maine oil cost today is 3.24) 20 years = $2.75 gal. KEY POINT-SELF SUFFICIENT! 12
