How much would it cost to shred and bag 150 tons of plastic per day, every day? What sources of suitable plastic are there that will provide 150 tons per day, every day in Niagara Falls?

The doesn't make the least bit of sense. Let me explain via example: Suppose it currently costs you $10,000.00 to make make one hotdog. That's a total cost of $10,000.00 per hotdog. Now suppose you go and tell an investor that you have a secret process right now, that lets you make hotdogs at a Total Cost of $0.0000001/per hotdog. End of story. You tell the investor that story, even though you have never produced a hotdog for less than a total cost of $10,0000.00 per hot dog. Note: You claimed that you could produce hotdogs at a total cost of $0.0000001/per hotdog. You never said that you could do this, only if you could one day scale up to producing a trillion hotdogs. Now, your investor, feeling like a putz for having given you the money, goes around saying: "Oh yes, he told me the truth. When he scales up to making a trillion hotdogs each day, then the total cost really will fall to $0.0000001/per hotdog." But you never said that. And besides, there's no evidence that costs for your magic hotdog process will decrease rapidly as a function of scale. Question: Who is lying in the above example? You? The investor? Both?
