Oops, what's more there are money problems (from the article above:

The revolutionary plant had been turning 270 tons of poultry waste into 300 barrels of crude oil every day. But it was losing money. The turkey oil was much more expensive to produce than projected — the cost of a barrel was double what it sold for.

And the process of cooking turkey entrails, feathers, feces and other waste gave off a terrible stench. Carthage residents sent hundreds of complaints to company, city, state and federal officials.

In 2000, Carthage officials learned their town would be home to the world’s first commercial demonstration plant to turn turkey waste into oil.

The plant was expected to cost $15 million to build, a third of it supplied by a federal grant that Sen. Kit Bond and Rep. Roy Blunt, both Missouri Republicans, helped obtain. But problems with the technology caused problems early on. The plant had to be rebuilt at a cost close to $40 million, with money coming from investors and ConAgra. The repairs delayed operation until last year, and plant operators spent a $12 million federal grant, in part, trying to fix the odor problem.

You don't say? Amazing! Why do you think they left that out of the original disclosure for the initial subsidies?
