It is really cool stuff...you put in whatever you find...beer cans, bannana
peels, old tires, turkey guts...whatever, then put it into the device
mounted
on the back of the D'lorian.  Then you set the dial for the time in the past
or future that you want to travel too.... Oh, they alreay made that  movie?

"Technological savvy could turn 600 million tons of turkey guts and other
waste into 4 billion barrels of light Texas crude each year":

http://www.discover.com/may_03/gthere.html?article=featoil.html

And it's not just turkey guts:  "The process is designed to handle almost
any waste product imaginable, including turkey offal, tires, plastic
bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks,
paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even
biological weapons such as anthrax spores... 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."

Sounds great.  What's the catch?  There's *always* a catch.  Are any of you
out there familiar with this?  Is anything getting lost in the hype?
