For decades, scientists have attempted to rapidly turn animal carcasses or other biomass solids into liquid fuel. Researchers have been refining the "pyrolysis" process of using extreme heat, pressure and a catalyst that is akin to the natural occurrence that turned dinosaurs into petroleum, according to Dr. Richard Cohen, the Graduate Studies Chairman in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Temple University.

churns up turkey leftovers, subjects them to high heat, and decants crude oil in far less time than Mother Earth takes to accomplish the same trick.

Oh man. What a bummer. I've been use my turkey leftovers to make soup.

Wrong comrade. It's only a benefit to our country when they can make it efficient enough that investors know they will get a return on their money.

I don't think public money should have to weed out quacks, that's what capitalism is for.

Due to the special clause in the laws of nature (put in by lawyers, no doubt), lawyers can only be recycled into more lawyers. Entropy always grows, you know.

As oily as a lot of lawyers are all you have to do is squeeze them to get a nice light crude.
