I've already solved this problem. My car runs efficiently on bald eagle heads.

While no one plans to put people into a thermal depolymerization machine, an intimate human creation could become a prime feedstock.

Ahh, turning liberals into oil. The dream is just too good to let go of.

One of these days a cheap energy company will come out and flood the market with their product and all our problems will be over.

This will happen shortly after the tooth fairy pays me back with compounded interest several million bucks.

I read about this some time ago. Finding a way not to depend on FOREIGN oil is key. Whether or not this is the answer, time will tell.

"If a 175-pound man fell into one end, he would come out the other end as 38 pounds of oil, 7 pounds of gas, and 7 pounds of minerals, as well as 123 pounds of sterilized water".

Soylent Green! Well, sort of. If you could eat it. Since it's so environmentally friendly maybe they could name it Green Soylent

The original article on this was in 2002 on ww.discovery.com. I was wondering if this was the same article from 2002 or if it was an update. I figured if it really works as advertised, then the press would be all over it.

This is a great idea! It could solve our oil needs. We also wouldn't have to worry about sewage treatment.

It's also a solution to the problem of overcrowded prisons.

Did i not hear on RUSH today that the current price of oil is caused by futures speculation and has nothing to do with demand/supply?

IMHO this is the case.

I know some people that would yield, I think, a whole lot more gas than seven pounds...

Nothing new but the low cost claims.

You can bet they are hype to bring in investors and the true cost won't be significantly lower than current sources.

At least it's home grown.

Check out a Wired magazine article about one year ago on the subject. It was the feature article. Also, Warren Buffett has a lock on the market alreday, and is said to be investing as much as necessary (over $200 million) to get this up and running.

If you add an occasional spotted owl, the knocks and pings will go away.

I'm waiting for Ted Kennedy and Michael Moore to beach themselves so that I can cut them up for heating oil.
