It is a good proven solution to the eventual loss of fossil fuel. Not really. Modern agriculture is heavily petroleum intensive (pesticides, fertilizers, etc). The harvest of most crops use more energy than the potential return. We have become far to dependent on oil. If there is even a small amount of truth in what the doomsayers are saying, our grandchildren face a very serious problem. http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ Also see the book "Hubbert's Peak : The Impending World Oil Shortage" for the original source. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books Mark Browne |

It is a good proven solution to the eventual loss of fossil fuel. You could never grow enough to satisfy the demand. It is not a solution, it is only "feel good" technology and a waste of money. The beauty of TCP is that it coverts waste products into fuels, fertilizers, minerals, and gases, and the whole process is powered by fuels produced in the process. The process is so clean that the plants do not even need permits. |
