Oh, but it SAVES THE EARTH!

I s*** you not, a project I've been on and off of of late involves some work at an oil fired plant of ~150 MW. Now, I'm not one for oil fired plants either for pretty much the same reason, but I'd make and exception here because this one has wells that pump to tanks right on the property.

Rather than doing some upgrades, they're tearing it down soon because it won't be up to the maximum emission standards. They should put a municiple thermal depolymerization plant on it and dispose of garbage and generate electricity simultaneously with the sulpher free diesel grade product... At the least they should mothball it for emergencies...

"They should put a municiple thermal depolymerization plant on it...."

How much would such a unit cost? It seems to me that having a ready fuel supply would be worth it's weight in gold.

I think your idea is ultimate times more worthy than just trashing the plant.
