When 2GreenEnergy was launched almost 16 years ago, the idea of collecting waste tires and subjecting them to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen (“pyrolysis”) to convert them into valuable commodities was very attractive. I worked on several different business plans that sought to make this happen at scale.
Not one of my clients was able to get the funding to move their idea forward, however, and at this point, one hears very little about the subject. As is so often the case, the economics of all this just failed to pan out.
If the price of gasoline or jet fuel had risen considerably, waste tire would have had a happier story to tell. Equally effective would have been large dumping fees associated with landfills; that’s where all these tires are going today–gradually decaying, and polluting our atmosphere.
Looks like communism! is the new mantra of the GOP. It’s coming from the least intelligent of their leaders to the least intelligent of their followers.
Could work!
What Obama says at left is a reminder that life in on Earth is tough enough without the planet’s most nation being led by a criminal sociopath.
As previously mentioned, it’s good to see the rising popularity of astrophysicist Dr. Brian Cox.
In this video, he explains that life on Earth is about 4 billion years old, but for the first 3 billion, there was nothing more complicated than single celled organisms. He suggests that this may be the reason that civilizations are rare in the universe, i.e., that they’re only around for the blink of an eye in terms of geologic time.
To me, it also makes one wonder why it took God 3 billion years to create the first multicelled form of life.
