Couldn't find this anywhere else. It's on WorldNUTDaily, so take it for what it's worth. If it could be done, that'd be great, but remember we got burned a few years back on the whole "anything into oil" with Changing Worlds Technology and their depolymerisation technology, which never panned out.

I think that stuff under my kid’s bed could even go nuclear.

Somebody better do something
This Food for Fuel will destroy us.

Yes, the “cracking” process in oil refineries “cracks” the bond between carbon and hydrogen and allows them to be rejoined in the order needed to make gasoline, diesel fuel, lube oils etc..

The COST to do so is the sticking point, this technology was used by the Axis during WW2, very expensive to convert non-peterolium.

i think this whole fossil fuel farce can be traced back a long time ago, to two old, barely able to hear scientists have a discussion about the dinosaurs....one old scientist said to the other” yep, dead dinosaurs turn into soil” and the other one, barely able to hear said “ did you say dead dinosaurs turn into oil?” the first one, barely able to hear said “ that’s right, they turn into soil” and that is how the myth of fossil fuels was born.......

Christopher Loyd succeeded at this back in the 80's.

This is not news. We know that certain types of algae contain oils that can be processed into diesel fuel, heating oil and possibly kerosene, and with further refining into various other hydrocarbon products—even gasoline! In short, we are very close to the technology to make hydrocarbon fuels from renewable algae—algae that can grow even in seawater.

The socialists will counter with this... and claim it's recycling.

Send your money to the developer, immediately.

He'll know what to do.

Rock oil is still the cheapest stuff on the planet.

Reading this makes me think of Gyro Gearloose who ran everything on a pint of peanut oil......

Why do we tie ourselves to the Muslims with their Carbon 14 Oil?

Is there any progress on Carbon 13 Oil ?

Synthetic Oil which is created daily in the North Sea.
