It appears that trash collectors may be on the verge of an answer in the quest for energy independence. Yep, you read that right. Presently corn is considered to be the leading source for ethanol--that might change soon. Popular Mechanics has an article in the issue that is presently on the stands which states that while researchers have been devoting considerable time and brain power to finding other feedstocks such as rapeseed and agricultural waste for the production of ethanol, garbage has real potential. Coskata is a startup biofuel company that is in the process of opening its first energy production plant in Illinois that can apparently generate ethanol from just about any carbon-rich source, for --get this-- less than one dollar per gallon. It's thanks to their use of microorganisms which secrete ethanol and digest carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Those gasses are what is left after the garbage or whatever is being used is heated to a steamy 1900F. The company has projected production of over 100 million gallons annually by 2011. I think that what Coskata is doing is great, some old fashioned American ingenuity – and what a great solution for what to do with some amount of the two hundred and fifty one million tons of garbage that Americans generate per year Which averages out to more than 4.6 pounds every day from each of us. Just consider the impact if much of that trash could now be converted into usable fuel ... America would be the heroes of the world after all with all the waste that we produce! It certainly aligns well with another topic that I have written articles on recently which is conservation of energy. In other words… harnessing the energy of people’s feet dancing on a dance floor and such and converting it into reusable energy. It is definitely wise if they can convert waste into fuel. The only thing is that people shouldn’t feel that you have to wait until they get it all into high gear production in order for you to begin getting reduced gasoline consumption, helping your car to operate better and to contribute to helping the environment. There is a solution right now which does all that at very nominal expense and which is already working well for thousands of people. Convert yourautomobile's engine from gasoline into hydrogen. The hydrogen is generated from water. The data is available for under $100 and we even refund if you order it but you don't "get" it - but many have and you should too.. And we are available long hours to provide support if need be. But really it is very easy and you should be able to install it quite easily from home on your own. It is a super neat feeling when you follow the instructions and install it and then start your engine and observe it really does work. You can perform a partial conversion and reduce your gasoline consumption 33% off or you can perform the full conversion. If you opt for the full conversion you are freed from your oil addiction for the rest of your life. And your car will run smooth as silk. And you will be helping the environment because the exhaust fumes from a hydrogen based engine are totally clean, more so than the air in most downtown areas.
