#1 I they can scale this up efectively great. 30 to 40 bucks less going to the ass hats per barrel. Plus we can let the froggies buy the rights for 10 or 15 Dircksons

#3 My bet is that the cost of making this oil to a quality level that the EPA will approve for trucks or boilers will leave little room for profit compared to simply rendering the wastes into animal feed for which there is already a good market. So the economics won't justify the process until the price of oil skyrockets. The BSE argument is faulty: rendering destroys the BSE too. The Europeans had BSE problems because fuel is more expensive there so they did their rendering at lower temperatures than we do in the US. As a result, their rendering didn't reliably destroy the BSE.

#4 If they could adapt that process to run on bullshit, the Democratic Party could power the entire nation.

The French could add peaking capacity.

#5 Lets hope we can hook this up to a sewage plant.

The signs would be great, "I gave a shit for oil independence!"
