- woulok, on 09/30/2008, -1/+20Now that's what I call a "sticky situation"
- Skywise, on 09/30/2008, -0/+15Get Mike Rowe on it!
- Batfishy, on 09/30/2008, -0/+11See how smart we can be? Not that it's perfect or anything.
- FlyingPhotog, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8OM NOM NOM NOM.
- RipleyIsDead, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8Mmm, trash-juice.
- alltimeqb, on 09/30/2008, -0/+7So when do the ninja turtles come in?
- TheMachine1, on 09/30/2008, -0/+7What a waste that trash juice would be an excellent feedstock for high fructose corn syrup production.
- mjwhip, on 09/30/2008, -1/+8FTA "The developer then hopes to use the fertilizer to grow willow coppices at the landfill for use as biofuel."
Nobody is saying to use this for food crops.
Also I'm sure the contaminants will/should be refined out. - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6trash juices...like sunny-d
- AFelsinger, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6i wonder if they could capture biogas from the leachate instead and if it'd be more efficient than growing the willow for biofuel.
- Chairboy, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6I prefer Hershey's Trash Syrup Lite, it's got half the calories.
- jull1234, on 09/30/2008, -0/+5Kitties love garbage juice.
- edalquist, on 09/30/2008, -1/+6Except this is explicitly for biofuel crops which are processed directly into ethanol, none of the crop would go into the food supply.
- nesagwa, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4They do that already in a lot of places, but it produces methane rather than ethanol.
Both are useful, just for different purposes. - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4dug for "trash-Juices"
- nmezib, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4who the ***** sprinkles trash-sauce on salad?
hot only is it filtered and purified (thanks, fixyourthinking), but it's for biofuel, dude. Biofuel.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked gasoline on your croutons. My bad. - FlyingPhotog, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4Been there, done that.
- southwestnut, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4I can see it now, Tropicana Trash Juice...........
- inajeep, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4So I guess they need to stick a bucket on the back of the garbage trucks to collect that juice that trails them all around town.
- fernwood, on 09/30/2008, -1/+5They should use Brawndo. It has electrolytes!
- sandersdamnit, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3Hey if Luke Skywalker can almost drown in this ***** and then become a ***** Jedi knight practically overnight, why wouldn't we want to put this on the crops? I gonna go drink the ***** outta some trash juice right now, just try and stop me!
- alex7575, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3You know that right now your entire body, inside and out is literally crawling with microbes?
- helloelan, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3'round these parts we call it "garbage water"
- Snaffler, on 09/30/2008, -1/+4I suppose nobody wants to know what is in landfill leachate? I've looked at lots of test results and it is not the sort of stuff you want to sprinkle on your salad. Heavy metals, including mercury, lead, and cadmium, ammonia, chloride, benzene, xylene, phthalates, PCI, etc. are commonly found. Some of this stuff will persist in soils on which it is applied. Some of this stuff can be absorbed by organics. Yum.
- cap11235, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!
- maxlightz, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3i just threw up in my mouth ...
- Luizzle, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3You can say that again!
Ice cream anybody? - nmezib, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3Dugg for "syrupy excretions"
- Hillsfar, on 09/30/2008, -6/+8Unfortunately, trash juice may also be full of things like household cleaners, battery acid, lead contaminants, chemicals outgassings from plastics, and other toxic metals like mercury, etc. Try researching news articles on chemical contaminants leaching from landfills here in the U.S.
Now imagine with current WTO regulations, the trash-juice irrigated products get shipped to the U.S. to fill our grocery produce aisles. With cheap garlic from China, grown on toxic land - tests have shown them to be full of lead and mercury. Try looking for research articles on that.
Now imagine these biofuels imported into the U.S. combusting in vehicle engines and polluting our air. - Hillsfar, on 09/30/2008, -2/+4Unfortunately, trash juice may also be full of things like household cleaners, battery acid, lead contaminants, chemicals outgassings from plastics, and other toxic metals like mercury, etc. Try researching news articles on chemical contaminants leaching from landfills here in the U.S.

- nesagwa, on 09/30/2008, -1/+3Now imagine theyre not growing food with this. Theyre growing plants to convert into ethanol.
- thebigmammoo, on 09/30/2008, -1/+3Yes!!! I was waiting for that.
- bizzywho, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2You guys should watch the documentary, "Toxic Sludge Is Good For You".
- hydroplane, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2The trash runoff is also bottled and sold as Snapple.
- ncc74656m, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2Garbage juices? Like the ***** that I find on my street after the truck runs its compactor? EWWW.
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2Trash juices, or what I call "excess flavor".
- h3lx, on 09/30/2008, -2/+4Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, lipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie!
- hydroplane, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2USA! USA!
- BoneStamp, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2Nothing smells worse than trash-juice (aka garbage-juice).
- leerayIG88, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2cum?
- rootsm3, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2Oh sign me up for that job.
- Hillsfar, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2I repeat: "Now imagine these biofuels imported into the U.S. combusting in vehicle engines and polluting our air."
- nmezib, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2sure, youre right. Biofuels tend to have a lot more particulate matter in combustion emissions, but consider the alternatives...
while we wait for greener technologies to emerge and become more feasible for our energy needs, there is a whole lot of untapped energy that can be harvested naturally. Sure, its enviromental benefits are questionable when compared to conventional petrol when emissions are only taken into account, but we have vast stores of trash piling up everywhere that can be both reduced and reused.
it's not perfect (gasoline has both CO and CO2 emissions so we should all dump our cars immediately?) but it is a start, and a nice intermediate. - knowmad23, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2bio-fuels produce CO and CO2. dude. CO and CO2!
xylene, phthalates and PCI's; Show me a method with references on how to "Filter” that stuff and we'll give you a Nobel prize in chemistry. And before you try to crawl any further up Fixyersh... whole of ignorance, what do you think the net product of burning "Detergents" is? (I’ll give you a hint. It’s the same stuff you scrape out of your bong.) - mogebier, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2TMI :)
- mogebier, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2Mmmmmmmm.... syrupy excretions.....
- charlietuna, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2@mjwhip
Refining out contaminants adds cost. As the saying goes: good, fast, cheap - pick two. - kgdoom, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2reminds me of when Neo falls into that piss-***** pool and the Nebakanezer fishes him out.
- elitebmo, on 09/30/2008, -0/+2thats pretty cool, but you'd think that they would have that lagoon enclosed by a very futuristic space dome. i mean, open air? is that safe?
