I've done quite a bit of looking into this intriguing idea, but have not found any source which shows yields more than 15,000 - 20,000 gals per acre per year. You may want to check your 100,000 gal figure as I can't source that anywhere. Do you have a link which shows that information or is it a typo?

Most of the analysis available on the net show that this concept is not fully viable due to myriad factors. However more productive algae and a focus on reducing costs could make it doable.
