Turkey guts = Oil

“Soylent Green is people!”

“The Cheap Oil? thread had something on this too.

It's great that this process will allow biomass to go someplace besides a landfill, but I wouldn't count on it supplanting oil from wells in the Mideast anytime soon.”

“Correction: Soylent Green is TREEpeople”

“600 barrels a day from the test plant is pretty promising. It won't totally supplant natural oil, but it might do two helpful things: extend the life of reserves and bring the cost down.

Of course, the ideal is to get beyond oil technology into something less environmentally destructive.”

“Sounds like I won't have to creamated after all!

Seems to me a great idea. Hope it works.”

“LMAO@Stump

I'm not being buried. I wanna be a tank of oil in some interstate trucker's diesel!”

“Brings new meaning to the term scattering ashes!”

“I wonder how many miles to the gallon I would get!”

“I wonder how many miles to the gallon I would get!”

“Premium or regular?”

“thermal depolymerization process, or TDP
- A big crock-pot! Dontcha just love scientists and venture capitalists ?!?”

“I haven't heard of this before, but if it keeps companies from using "Biosolids" from being used on crop fields I'm glad to see it.”

“Whoa. That's a lot of turkey guts. Makes me wonder if the price of cat food will now go up.”

“Well, if you can't afford the cat food......





j/k!”

“NO BLOOD FOR TURKEY GUTS!”

“Spend time on the trail not in the car.80% of driving is uncalled for.I'll pitch in to pay the unemployment checks for all the oily dudes.Sit and calculate the % of your income that supports your cars---all of it come on!!If you're truthful and not rich,I'll bet it's more than for the kids.Light your pipe and think REAL.”

“sale, pass it ya bogart! then tell me what kind of car's do you own?”

“When I read the story I thought that this is the coolest thing I had heard in a long time! I loved that big business is getting behind it.”

“Give it a little while, PETA will be picketing the place.”

“That's OK, just throw 'em in and get 37lbs of oil each......”

“BWD has finally found a viable application for PETA-heads! lol!”

“West Hempstead, NY - After a decade of intensive development, the first commercial-scale waste-to-oil plant based on the Thermal Conversion Process (TCP) of Changing World Technologies is successfully processing up to 270 tons of poultry offal into 300 barrels of oil daily in Carthage, Missouri. “Unfortunately, while the science works, political technicalities are preventing our company from meeting the demand to expand our U.S. operations,” says CWT Chairman & CEO Brian Appel.

“The exclusion is unfortunate because our fuel is superior in several ways,” says Mr. Appel. “It can be derived from a broad mix of waste products that are often difficult to dispose of otherwise, and it can be used as a gallon-for-gallon substitute for traditional diesel, rather than merely as an additive. Our process also destroys prions, the cause of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and along with oil creates a fertilizer shown in tests by Auburn University to be one of the most effective natural fertilizers ever made. Because TCP utilizes above-ground waste streams, it also has the potential to arrest global warming by reducing the use of fossil fuels.

“Thats good

but the average American needs 3 gallons of oil based products each day

and I doubt consumes 3 gallons of turkey based products per year

so, the contribution, from the turkey offal might help

but only a little.”
