A quick google search on thermal depolymerization will turn up dozens of articles, including some on the turkey waste plant under construction. The folks building the plant are not promising a profit. They are doing it for efficient management of waste, with the hope of eventually breaking even.

In my opinion, any new technology that manages to break even in its first commercial application can probably be improved to the point of being profitble.

There's no doubt in my mind, that over time, with the right management, and with them striving for efficiency, they will make a profit, its just a matter of time. My guess, before they become big money success, around a decade.
