- carolinaws, on 05/22/2008, -0/+17Thank you, Shirley Manson!
- uptown, on 05/22/2008, -0/+11There's a company called Nanologix that's been working with Welch's Grape Juice to turn their waste-water into energy. They convert activated sewage sludge into hydrogen using bacteria, and the bacterial reaction is self-propigating because the bacteria double every 24 minutes. Very cool stuff.
- malex, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9WHO RUNS BARTERTOWN?
- gimianame, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9looks like Staten Island is the next Saudi Arabia
- Rainemaker, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious *****.
- jefu007, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6Where we're going, we don't need roads!
- centran, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6Hey Doc, you better back up, we don't have enough road to get up to 88.
- uptown, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5I'm only happy when it rains...
- wynja, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Sweet, so now we need to build ships that can suck up all the garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean to be used for fuel.
- awtripp, on 05/22/2008, -2/+6You are so useless. Every comment you make is the same tin foil hat *****. I'm sick of the way the US Government is being run, too, but I don't run around shout "US GOVERNMENT IS THE TERRORISTS!" I mean, ***** man, be constructive and productive, this negative mantra you keep chanting is just alienating you. Get a clue, chief.
- V0lk, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Shirley is so freaking hot..... I would drink her bathwater.
- bincoder, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Don't peeps have to make a Lot of garbage to fuel a lawn mower, much less a 1974 4x4? I make at most 2 kitchen sized bags a week, mostly air plastic and paper. That weighs maybe 20 lbs maximum. Show me how to wave my magic wand and turn 20 lbs of garbage into 30 lbs (5 gallons) of gasoline and i'll show you the tooth fairy. Maybe it works for the owner of a landfill, if you happen to own a landfill.
- dafragsta, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3Marty!
- lnahinu, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3I'll take the Delorean for a spin since garbage is the only thing that fuels it.
- orangefly, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3did you find something with the smelliscope....???....
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -1/+4The U.S. Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.
Hundreds of dolphins washed ashore in Virginia and New Jersey shorelines in 1987 with burns similar to mustard gas exposure. - inactive, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2"Earth!"
- Tripper44, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Hey Butt-heads!
- ciaran036, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Oh sure... let's go out and stare at trees. Or get drunk. Real productive.
- n3demonic, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Take that Captain Planet
- pkghost, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Typical moron reply. No, "Big Oil" is not out to get us, they're out to make as much money as possible. They will tell you that themselves. I'm not even sure why you brought them up considering I didn't make any judgements of big oil in my comment. Actually, I do know why you brought them up -- it's called an ad hominem attack. You want to damage my credibility by putting words in my mouth. No, thank you.
Secondly, there is no fuel crisis. Reserves are up and consumption is down. High prices are caused primarily by HUGE increases in speculation on the oil market over the past 6 years and also the weak dollar, which is responsible for about a third of the increase in gas prices lately. Use Google, educate yourself.
Finally, if the article is wrong, the article is wrong. Unfortunately, that doesn't help your argument that this all the fault of the enviro-nuts. If you want to toss around stereotypes and unqualified generalities, do it someplace else. - treed, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2o/` A revolution... is the solution... o/`
- pkghost, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2The cost of oil is, in reality, incredibly low. What we are not paying for now at the pump we will pay for later (and are already paying for) in CO2 countermeasures and other environmental repair efforts. The cost of using oil is not just in the dollars and cents, it is in the damage its extraction and use does to our environment, but thanks to short-sighted energy policies, we don't pay for that damage! We're just going to leave it to the rest of the world and its future generations. Great strategy, moron.
One more thing. You think this is bogus because the enviro-nuts were in favor of it and are now against it? It's called UPDATING YOUR MOTHER F***ING WORLD VIEW based on new information. (Our President would do well to take note.) Furthermore, the enviro-nuts are not the ones running oil companies, investing in ethanol fuels, and driving up food prices worldwide... They're the ones riding their bikes to work, and they're happier, healthier, and more productive for it. Get a clue. - INDOAZZ, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2METHANE power is the future. Just ask the maker of Windex.
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3You mean Naples is the new Saudi Arabia. MAMA MIA!!!!
. - awtripp, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2I'll need a source on that, because, this may shock you, but I don't believe the words that you write.
- BXRWXR, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Or Taco Bell.
- wertach, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2This is something I don't understand. WE have landfills and sewer plants with methane burners to get rid of the natural gas produced from them. It is just burned and could be used to produce electricity, ETC. Why isn't someone using this resource?
- arkaycee, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2OK so that's the garbage you throw out at home ... add in the garbage that the companies that make your cars and groceries and everything else you own, and the garbage your waiters throw out for you at restaurants and fast food places... there's a lot more garbage per-person than your 20 lb. bag.
- markp93, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3James Poop.
- petebot, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2ew.
- Beanbones, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2The more modern landfills already do this. The Penn & Teller episode on recycling also features a rep from one of these landfills. Worth checking out.
- rizzo2008, on 05/26/2008, -0/+2hemp is much better than other crops for producing bio-fuels but getting oil from algae works even better. I agree the laws restricting the farming of hemp need to be repealed since you can plastics, clothing, and other things out of hemp that we will need when oil reserves dwindle.
- pwr4, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2There's another company based in Long Island, NY that been working on turning not only garbage, but medical waste, biowaste from turkey processing plants, basically, anything that's not nuclear waste. And the "brewing process" is 85% efficient, only 15% of the oil that's produced is needed to sustain the brewing process. The heat generated from the process kills off anything harmful.

http://www.changingworldtech.com - Rainemaker, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Or... we can make like Dr. Brown and get our "trash" from Libyan Nationalists.
- JPOOPOO, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Why isn't anyone talking about HEMP?
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Since we use 80+ billion per year, this would account for 10% or more...though the energy costs of turning this into a biofuel would eat into that substantially. And, well, this estimate is talking about a best case scenario involving everything we throw away, which we'll never tap.
Um, why don't we just put solar panels on every building's roof and become a net exporter of energy? We could have done that for the price of invading Iraq and we would never have to have given a damn about what happened in the middle east ever again.
Oh yeah, I forgot, then there would be no huge profits to be made in processing, refining, and transporting whatever liquid fuel we are still dump enough to be using.
Better profits to be made by a few dollars charged to every citizen day after day than to solve the problem once and for all...ahem. - orangefly, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2it's bung hole cornholio....
- camaroz06, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Damn people already made Garbage jokes...
Always the bridesmaid never the bride when it comes to digg jokes. - TheFinaleofSeem, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Whoa, a Youtube documentary! I'm sold! I already gave you an explanation, idiot. There would have been plenty of aluminum in the towers, and the heat was more than sufficient to melt it. Try again.
- pkghost, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1No, bincoder, your personal garbage output is not likely to satisfy all of your energy needs... That is not the idea. If we, as a society--god forbid as a species--, can figure out better ways to extract energy from our environment, we will all be better off in the long run.
- fsjenkins2000, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Old News
http://zedomax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09 ... - GRIMREAPER187, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Garbage Will Lead the Biofuel Revolution and us back to the future!
- LZeppelinJ0, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Bleak outlook but I totally understand your point of view, maybe "ultimate solution" was a bit too strong of a phrase, but it's a step
- Eddiecoaster, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Hell yea.
- ciaran036, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2I looked it up - it's reported on several websites - looks legit to me. Looks like it is the truth. The cold hard truth. It just shows you how stupid people are. Even when people are told that Iran do not have nuclear weapons, are not making any and have no intention to, they still don't believe it, despite that it is FACT.
- ElGstr, on 01/05/2009, -0/+1Cool
Using High Tech For Conservation http://reno.broowaha.com/article.php?id=4327 - 4abtrlife, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1This is great news. There's another company doing something similar. The founder is named Dr. Santilli, and he patented the gas he produces by organic wastes called MagneGas and he even renamed the molecules, magnecules. Not only is this clean energy but vehicles using MagneGas to power them produce oxygen while running. This is similar technology to HHO as described on http://www.SaveGasSaveEarth.com
