Ethanol ruins your engine, gets less MPG, and costs more to use in the long run. Why anyone would want to use this junk is beyond me.

Could use all the plant material mowed and cut from interstate and other highways.. trillions of pounds not now even gathered.... More highways could be planted with “grass”.. or whats that plant in Geogia that grows a foot a day.. that you cant get rid of..

If it pans out, this sounds promising. The whole ethanol from corn thing just seemed like a lot of tail-chasing.

Back in 2003, Discover magazine had an article called "Anything Into Oil," about how we would soon be using thermal depolymzerization to make as much oil as we could ever want, out of garbage, sewage, and agricultural waste. The article seemed genuine. After all, it was in Discover magazne. I believed it.

But it turned out to be bogus. The predictions that were in the article never came true.

So now I am very skeptical of these kinds of claims. If this new article is true, then why isn't the product available on the open market for people to buy? My guess is that it's probably as bogus as the article from 5 years ago.

Well, that’s all fine and good until we deplete the earth of trash. We’ll have all kinds of Greenies complaining about the lack of McDonald wrappers and beer bottles on the side of the road.

Ethanol doesn’t burn our food RB, unless you want to call soda pop food.

This appears to actually be quite promising...plus it starts with the letter “E” - very important.

Think of all the leaves raked up each fall...or the land cleared down here in FL for housing. Mountains and mountains of feedstock for these little critters...

I have often looked at the mountain our landfill has made, and thought of the billions of dollars that lay waiting there for someone to mine. A process like this, that would be able to float all the bio-waste out in a usable form is a really good first step.

Convince the govt. agency in charge of ethanol $$$ allocation that whatever product or food source you are working on can be converted into Ethanol then thats a fast track to the Govt. $$$ earmarked for ethanol production.........
