From Changing World Technologies, a way to take the waste stream and convert almost anything other than spent nuclear rods into ~ gasp! ~ oil. The thing is, this oil is using carbon that is already above the ground, rather than sequestered in ancient underground oil reserves. Imagine flushing your toilet into an oil refinery pipeline...and your drainline, and your plastic containers, used tires, old computers, yard waste, spoiled food, etc, etc, etc...and using non-polluting wind to feed the energy input into the process that creates this oil. Oil which can be refined into gasoline, diesel, heating oil, plastics, etc. OH, and by the way? The process also creates extremely pure water and industrial grade minerals...
