IMAGINE. . .
Imagine a machine that can turn almost anything into oil. Imagine that
it uses natural processes like heat and pressure, and produces no
pollution. Imagine that waste from landfills, refuse from poultry
factories, sludge from city sewage, or even infectious medical
waste, are used to make the oil. Everybody says it sounds too good to
be true. But now we have the science -- and two factories -- to prove
it.
"This is a solution to three of the biggest problems facing mankind,"
Brian Appel, CEO of Changing World Technologies, Inc., told Discover
magazine in a May 2003 feature article. "This process can deal with the
world's waste. It can supplement our dwindling supplies of oil. And it
can slow down global warming."
The process is called thermal depolymerization. Waste goes in one end
and comes out the other as three products, all valuable and
environmentally benign: High-quality oil, clean-burning gas, and
purified minerals that can be used as fuels, fertilizers, or specialty
chemicals for manufacturing. . .

Your Top 10 good newsletter today was so good. It lifted my spirits more than any other issue. A couple items even choked me up. People need to know the good stuff that is happening, to inspire them to greater heights. We need to know that our efforts are paying off, that we can build a paradise -- and we’re doing it. Thank you for singing this from the hilltops... a most valuable, important service. -Tony Milch, Burbank, CA

A new energy-saving wind turbine has been modeled after the flippers of humpback whales. The bumps on the whales' flippers allow water to flow over them more smoothly, saving energy. The principle has now been adapted to capture wind energy.
