If you goto http://www.changingworldtech.com/ you can visit the website for Changing World Technologies where they have developed a means of turning ANYTHING made out of carbon (most things on the planet including us are made from carbon) into normal crude oil that can be made into regular gasoline for our current vehicles, and I believe its cleaner then the current fuel we use from drilling.

If this U of I project pans out, the Sierra Club can relax -- no sensible farmer would let that kind of "black gold" slip into the waterways. And Greenies calling manure a contaminant only when it comes from contained livestock is prejudicial and counterproductive. Every animal in nature produces waste, but that from the farms is controlled in... uh... quality. Veterinarians check the animals regularly to see that no disease is spread among them, unlike those in the wild. in other words, even in huge amounts, farm poo is safer than poo in the wilderness. Plus, poo makes really good fertilizer for my gardens, runoff be hanged. city kids. sheesh. ;-) Have you seen the article on research into converting pig manure into crude oil?

It also impacts the operations of the thousands of small family farmers who live in the 18th district who have animals.
