Wouldn't it be great if we can turn ALL of our waste and trash into environment-destroying exhaust? That would be the most efficient collective suicide I can think of!

Ok, you understand we already burn oil, right? Currently we are burning oil that comes from fossil fuels, we mine for ancient sunlight. In fact there are a couple wars going on because of it.

Yes, Trancecoach, we should think about Environmentally friendly solutions, but it appears America isn't ready yet. Pay attention to world environment news and you will learn that America is one of the few countries that doesn't support International environment agreements. Even the current President doesn't believe in climate science.

What I like about the process illustrated in the video above is that it means for now we can continue burning oil. Lets stop going to middle eastern countries buying oil. Exxon, King Saud et all have earned enough money from my pocket. In the video they mention how much Garbage we already produce. Tones of it. We can start eating up all the Garbage we've produced and make Oil...and when the Garbage runs out (heaven forbid) maybe by that time we'll be ready for more environmentally friendly energy production.

Don't subsidize -- just tax oil so much that any viable alternative will pay for itself at the market price of energy, and consumption will be decreased. It's inevitable that conventional mining will become as expensive as mining trash, as conventional resources are depleted.
