About 15 years ago, this whole subject held huge promise. That’s because each year, about 280 million old tires find themselves in landfills, releasing greenhouse gas emissions and wasting enormous amounts of chemical energy.

It appeared that a large opportunity lay in using pyrolysis, a combination of high temperature and pressure–think of it as combustion in the absence of oxygen, that could capture that energy and yield a host of extremely valuable carbon compounds as byproducts.

When 2Greenenergy was launched in 2009, we went to great efforts to raise capital for waste-tire pyrolysis plants, but nothing seems to have happened, after all that time.

Does the rendering at left above represent an actual, facility?  Probably not.

Here’s a beautiful piece of writing political commentator Rick Wilson the demolition of the East Wing of the White House.

Perhaps this is stupid question, but I need to ask it nonetheless: Does the president of the U.S. have the right to do something like this? I presume he doesn’t have a deed to the White House.  As such, can he sell it? Build a Pizza Hut on the property?

How is this situation different than my walking across the street to the park, where I commence cutting down trees because they block my view of the mountains in the distance?

I would expect to be in handcuffs within a few minutes.  Why?  It’s not me property.
