Re Turkey Fuel story -- fascinating, but that was Nov 2003 story, almost 2 years ago now. Do you know of an update on the progress of the project??
This one is dated from July 5 of this year. It looks like Philly and Missouri have Pilot Programs. It looks like the "lifting" (cost to get it out of the ground) cost is a lot more than in Mid. East, but a little higher than what the cost to get oil from Alaska or the gulf. I imagine the start up costs are a lot lower as well. The Missouri plan is expected to handle 200 tons of turkey parts in 24 hours and that cost *only* 20 mil. (i have no idea if that's good or not :) )
