AgroWaste Oil Plant Starts Production

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the texas-gold-from-cleveland-steamers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo, and others has a story about the first Waste-to-Oil plant going online, and selling the oil commercially. Using TCP (Thermal Conversion Process), the plant is producing 100-200 barrels of No. 4 oil a day, and has the capacity to produce up to 500 barrels per day. With the amount of agricultural waste in the U.S., and many more of these plants, we could possibly reduce our need for foreign oil."

    Actually, I hate them because they make driving in anything that isn't 6 feet off the ground more dangerous. I can't see as well around them, I'm more at risk in a crash because they're more likely to ride up over my bumper, and 99% OF THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM DON'T FUCKING NEED THEM.

    Let's not forget that their average fuel economy is worse than my fucking lawnmower.
