Well if anyone is interesting I have something to tell that will affect us all in one way form or another ( yea ).
Well we all know that the government and the major gas companies ( exxon ect ) are working on creating a hydrogen fuel cell for cars where they run off of the protons of the hydrogen atom or something and the only by product is H2O. That's still in the process, but you think, we are fine with gas in our quads and dirtbikes, ect. This will interest you.
I read in Discover magazine that a chemist that owns a recycling refinery has discovered, and can sucessfully break down any compound with carbon ( wood, bodies, tires, plastic, (free)dom fry grease ) and reconfigure the atomic structure into what they want ( its more complicated then that but I dont want to bore anyone ). Well, think about that, carbon based substances... reconfigure... bling bling.. He can take ( what he does now ) 200 tons of agricultural waste ( chicken heads, organs, feathers essentially ) and with that, he can get I think 1500 barrels of crude oil in its purest form. from that can come gasoline.
Plug a city sewege line into this refinery, and have some gas, hell yea! It works, and they are building the refineries in the US ( one is going up in phili right now ). I think the statistics right now with just those agricultural wastes we can get some 4 million barrels of oil a year ( we import some 4.1 barrels a year from the middle east ).
So really, we took a non renewable resourse, and made a process that usually takes thousands, millions of years to do, and did it in a day. And, its domestic, anyone want to imagine what gas prices are going to be when we have mass production from these plants? Whoa..

(IF anyone else knows anymore about this then me please fix, my chemistry professor explained it to me today and I was like whoa, I will get a copy of the artical later )
