" Factory to Turn Guts Into Crude Oil
Nicole Davis, for National Geographic News

As Americans prepare to gobble down 45 million turkeys on Thursday, a factory in Carthage, Missouri, is turning the feathers and innards of the feted bird into a clean-burning fuel oil. Changing World Technologies (CWT), a New York environmental technology company that is behind the project, also has plans to turn the organic waste from chickens, cows, hogs, onions, and Parmesan cheese into light crude oil—and those are just the some of CWT's proposed ventures......"

Why has this technology not been pursued VIGOROUSLY by the current administration, or by our Congress, who all claim to want to reduce our dependency on foreign oil? Or at least there should be more excitement and effort from the very scientists whose panties are in a wad over our supposedly dwindling oil supply and contributions to global warming....

There is also research being conducted on a process to very efficiently convert pig waste, cattle waste, and even human waste into crude oil, and also for use in electricity-generating biofuel cells. Check out these articles:

There has also been a BIG development in production methods for biodiesel:

Of course this breakthrough will be severely lambasted by the oil and chemical industries, and largely ignored by our government.

The casual disregard for, and even repression of, superior ideas and technologies is really starting to grate on my nerves.... It's just as bad as the hemp issue.... It's far beyond ridiculous that hemp is still illegal.

I'm know I'm throwing a lot of irons in the fire at once here, but.... I'm on a roll. Please forgive my random ranting.
