Definitely worth getting excited about, though it seems the current cost of fuel production as of Aug 8 including crude oil cost is $3.40/gal minus taxes and distribution.[0] Prometheus will likely cost less to distribute, since it doesn't need to be shipped across seas, funneled through pipelines, and between refineries, it can be produced next to solar or wind generation.For reference, Prometheus costs $1.86/gal to operate and they are aiming to reduce the cost of the machine so it can be produced including capex at $3.00/gal.
