Company Turns Garbage Into Oil
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=Y24V534ZWIFLMCRBAEOCFFA?type=ourWorldNews&storyID=3122131

This company has attracted investors like Warren Buffet's son and Woolsey (former CIA director).

Can they also turn straw into gold?

2. I Love This Technology

I think it's going to be real important over the next century.

Right now it's small. But if we ever have another serious oil shock, it will explode.

3. Discover Magazine did an article about this, earlier in the year.
I sent it to a friend who is now lobbying for a thermal depolymerization plant in her state, to process the waste from hog farms.

4. Here's an article from Discover Magazine
On what I believe is the same technology:

Perhaps the technology is good, but I'm a bit squeamish about factory farming animals to meet our energy needs - haven't they suffered enough already?
