the company is funded by the epa and the doe and it has sec clearance. It has one working plant in philadelphia that processes sewage that's been open for two years. another plant in missouri w/$20 million funding from Conagra changes turkey entrails to oil. The project looks very exciting. This is what I am talking about. A US company with patents, doing something both environmentally and economically sound.
The Conagra plant is going to process 200 tons of turkey carcass a day, and instead of dumping it, actually generate money from the "waste"
Very very cool. Al Gore would love it. George Bush's people love it. Absolute win win. If this technology matures, (and works like they say it does), we literally will end our reliance on foreign oil, reduce the price of oil, and basically clean up all our landfills, for a profit! Your garbage will actually be valuable. Companies might start bidding to pay you to take it away. Very very exciting stuff.

Until the regulators and trial lawyers begin to wreak their havoc, as they have done to every other area of business. As it becomes more profitable, the more the IRS takes, and that becomes a burden.
And eventually, the BS tolerance will be exhausted, and the company will start to look for a friendlier place to do business. The self-destructive cycle we began in the 1960s, where anyone who was a successful businessman now finds himself the object of envy and hatred, instigated by the lefties and the paleos.
This country had treated some of its most successful entrepreneuers, such as Bill Gates, like dirt. When they succeed, it seems as if this country, rather than thanking them, tries to destroy them. That is NOT going to make them feel favorably inclined to this country. Now, the paleos are saying, "You'd better not outsource or offshore, or we will treat you like dirt." They're ALREADY treated like dirt, they're ALREADY held in contempt. What do they have to lose by outsourcing or offshoring?
No poor person provided a productive job to anyone. People like Bill Gates have provided LOTS of productive jobs for this country, and they are thanked with attempts to bring them down. Until we break the cycle of class envy, until we can bring common sense back to regulations and the tort system, we will continue to harvest what has been sown for decades.

200 tons of turkey carcass a day,First of all, it's nice to see ONE agri-venture not owned by that bunch of Greek crooks in Decatur, IL.
Having said that, how many turkeys are we going to have to EAT in order to put gas in the car?
