So, in what sense is it true that it costs (present tense) 50¢/m²?
It's a manufacturing cost estimate, not a market price.
It seems reassuring that there's already a manufacturing cost estimate and that it's as low as 50¢/m².
Patents will ensure it sells for $100 per square-meter though, or whatever ludicrous price can be burn by the market and still make it valuable to the consumer.
Material costs at hypothetical production scale.
