Remember the "turkey blood to oil" test plant?

Somebody check my math.. this is mind-boggling.

Pilot plant is win-win for area

Quote
......The Carthage plant reportedly is designed to produce 400 to 500 barrels of oil per day from 200 tons of waste from a variety of sources. .......

...The United States produces 6 billion tons of poultry waste annually.


OK, I'm tired and I'm running the math in my head.

200 tons of poultry waste = 500 barrels of "biodiesel"

The US produces 6 billion tons of poultry waste per year.

If it all were converted..... 150 Billion barrels of oil?

Or did I miss some zeros?

The US imports ~ 20 million barrels a day.

So we can get 750 days of oil from poultry waste if we recycle it all?

What did I do wrong.. that can't be true.

If it IS true...... Full Speed Ahead with Changing World Technologies.

I musta miscalulated. It's late.. niters.

15 Billion - 75 days.

not bad though, for a bunch of chicken ****.  I bet if tapped Congress we could get another 6 billion

Barrel of API 40 should be about 288 lb.
500 barrels at 288 lb/barrel is 72 tons.  So it doesn't violate conservation of mass.  :)

Does it matter if the turkeys are raised free range or not?

Well it would probably be acceptable with free range turkeys as long as they died of natural causes and had of course signed a waiver beforehand.

The whole invade other countrys and take their oil strategy might be cheaper in the long run.

Right now they are PAYING to get rid of this waste. It's win/win.

Also, they HAVE to get rid of the waste. They can't let the turkey innards pile up indefinitely.

Sure, the price of "turkeydiesel" may rise. But the important part of this is that it provides a renewable, domestic source of energy. LOTS of energy.

There's no way this won't drive the price of oil lower if it's ever fully implemented.

There's no way this won't "decrease America's dependence on foreign oil".

There's no way this won't help clean-up AND green-up America.

The rest of the world gets the same benefits if they use the technology.

Cripes, current estimates of scrap tires in stockpiles across the nation range from 300-million to 500-million, and this year Americans will generate 280-million more. There's a lot of energy in tires.

Changing World say that converting all of the US agricultural waste into oil and gas would yield the energy equivalent of US oil imports in 2001.

IF true... and that's a big IF, this technology may well represent a watershed event in the history of mankind. Waste to Energy. Wow.

No full speed...

It doesnt fit US market. If you will bring new technology, it will cause that money will transfer to diferent subject.

Since money rule your world, nobody want to lose his $$. So US policy is not to Full Speed Ahead, as you would like, but way of possible biggest profit, whitch will not cause major money shift between subjects.....

For example, how many people do work in Oil ind. over there.
Who run biggest oil bussines over there and whats their relation with those, who could cause "Full Speed Ahead ".

It will not be that easy to bring something that good over there.

I rather belive that turkey will be full of terrorist next year and it will need liberalization.....

or CIA could find hidden nukes in  those fatories :D

We also have alot of people who work for the big Agricultural businesses.

Just replace Exxon with ADM or Monsato.
