This looks like a rough guess, 'with a lot of ifs', homework assignment.
Directed at a very vertical condition that exists in the Salton Sea.
They even say, 'Achieving such low costs and high productivities will
require a substantial R&D effort and success.' Meaning, a lot of work
and luck.

I have yet to see anyone do a pilot on even the meager proportion of a
few acres. If you know of one, please do post. The world could use a
realistic cost analysis for _today's_ world.

Elevating this paper to a solution, especially one we need today, not
decades from now, is disingenuous.
