Most of the content of the waste products mentioned is cellulose, which has a much lower energy density than long chain aliphatics. Look at the yields for cellulose in the article that you linked to for cellulose.
You can't get something for nothing. I think the ~15% yield on weight that I mentioned is wildly optimisic.
Let's get real. Supposing the stuff was real, what distribution network would they use to get the fuel to consumers? Who would have the capital to improve on the process and then market the fuel oversees? I don't think oil companies care where the oil comes from as long as they can sell it.
All it takes is a little napkin math
With this process, just one bushel (60 pounds) of organic waste can yield about six gallons of bio-crude, Rivera said.
Six gallons of biofuel weighs about 48 pounds. That is like an 80% yield.
I would believe this with pure animal fat or vegtable oil, but to say you can get that from "cracked soy beans, rice and cotton seed hulls, grain sorghum, milo and jatropha" is complete BS. The biofuel would have more engergy in it than would even be available in the waste if it was burned as is.
I would be excited if he got 1 gallon from 60 pounds of garbage, and this would push the boundries of whats believable.
That's not how we look at things.. our eyes don't look at a whole picture evenly. If you make a large print of a photograph, the eye scans over smaller areas over time. Pictures aren't just slabs of data that are scanned into our eyes.
The smart thing to do would be to fast-track 10% of the applications (picked by lottery) for approval. We can preserve most of the lands and still benefit from the needed learning curve.
My son has high functioning autism and the doctor wanted to put him on 5 psychoactive drugs. She had the little advertising doo-dads from the drug companies all over her office.
That was the last visit with her and our son is doing fine drug-free.
Yes, I would, and I think other Americans would choose to as well but they have been sold the idea of medicine as religion. Why are we paying for this unecessary luxury?
My bro is a left-handed physicist and is one of the most narrowly focused people I have known. I don't think the brain is as simplistic as you make it out to be.
I wouldn't have bothered commenting a huge block of code like that either. I would have broken it up into several tightly scoped functions with descriptive names. Problem solved.
It is easy to believe that quality critical thinking engineers don't want to 'take their work home with them' and instead rely on religion to guide their personal live.

Think of disasters for oil companies like Nigeria and Venezuala(govt seized all oil production assets)
Good point.

Maybe it is because IE is at their job. Maybe they don't have administrative rights. Maybe their IT department doesn't want to upgrade.
perhaps platinums affinity for hydrogen is changing it's mass?
Really? Why don't you look at all the reservations along the rio grande river. They also have significant water rights.

"Do you want to refuse treatment?"
Yes, I would, and I think other Americans would choose to as well but they have been sold the idea of medicine as religion. Why are we paying for this unecessary luxury?
And good riddance! We don't need 'shiny object' people in this business.
This nitpicking over lifestyles is to distract us from the fact that 80% of our healthcare costs are spent in the last year of our lives.
Instead of letting people who are terminally ill die in peace we torture them with exspensive inneffective treatments.

I was referring to the O Author, not the guy who had to pick up the pieces ;)

hopefully they are better spellers.
My CRS is so bad I have to code clearly. I can't remember what I did a week ago.
Tight scoping and carefully thought out naming of variables and functions goes a long way.....
telling them that eating their veggies helps them poop works for me

I don't think many children dis-believe in god. If you asked them they would say 'i don't know'
One of the few consumer products that live up to the hype.
all substitutes and methods of reducing emissions are futile, eh
Unless 2 billion asians diappear the answer is 'yes'
Is it really possible for a child to be an aethist? I tend to think that a childs religious beliefs are malleable at this age.
