Experiments at the Philadelphia thermal depolymerization plant have converted heavy crude oil, shale, and tar sands into light oils, gases, and graphite-type carbon. "When you refine petroleum, you end up with a heavy solid-waste product that's a big problem," Riordan says. "This technology will convert these waste materials into natural gas, oil, and carbon. It will fit right into the existing infrastructure."

Every summer in the 1960's my brother and I used to spend several weeks visiting with my Aunt in Chester. She lived around the corner from the Nabisco Plant where she worked, it was cool, we got lots of those free toys that they used to put into the cereal boxes. When we asked what the smell was she said "what smell?". One of my wise-assed uncles said it was the Chester "Fairy", yeah he spelled it that way. I had a whole mess of cousins in Chester, Trainer, Marcus Hook and Woodlyn. They worked at Nabisco, Scott Paper and Sun Shipyards.
