Ah the (relatively) Free-Enterprise system - nothing like it on the face of the earth for technological advancements.

If you read the whole article at the link, you'll see that there are several other companies that are also pursuing this same type of technology (plasma conversion of garbage). I wish them ALL success!............

So does this mean that hydrogen cars ARE a real possibility? I had dismissed them because it cost so much to generate the hydrogen, but with this technology, perhaps. . .

Yes, quite possible. But at the cost of billions and billions in infrastructure changes........

Nobody knows plasma like Lt. Torres. I think she should take a look.
To: Red Badger
I wonder if it will work with raw sewage?

In the future, will your local government sponsor a "wasting campaign?"
"Do your civic duty and don't Reduce, Reuse, or Recycle! Your neighbors are counting on you to generate your share of trash."

To: Red Badger
Yes, but it's high tech, requires capitalism, and effectively solves a real problem. Unlike, say, can and bottle recycling, which is lo-tech, often involves threat of government force in implementation, and often creates more energy/materials waste than it saves.
Therefore the Greens will hate this.

It could actually make money for the cities and relieve some of the costs to the taxpayers!.........

A businessman friend talked of this technology fifteen years ago as a spin-off from defense research. The problem then and now is that it takes a lot of capital and time to move from concept to prototype, and to availability and impact in the marketplace. I like it -- if it works on a large scale and can generate a return, it may prove quite useful.
