The process to make oil from trash is very simple and its done in one step so why not do it?
Answer:
Several years ago I and several of my partners investigated a number of methods for making alternative fuels from trash, garbage and garden waste.
The lowest cost process that we were able to come up with would produce an oil that would work as a substitute for diesel fuel. The cost of production was approximately $10 per gallon. It was not economically competitive in the market place.
If you truly have a method for producing the oil at a cost that is competitive in the marketplace I will license it from you and pay you royalties.
Unfortunately most of the schemes that I have seen like this in the past were pump and dump schemes for penny stocks.
Good question
simple answer: because americans are so gosh darned lazy!
If it were all that simple, people would be doing it, instead of spending millions to haul trash to landfills. If you have a scheme for doing it, this is your chance to make some big bucks; go for it.
If it was simple and if it was profitable, someone would be doing it. There are municipalities all over the world that would love to get rid of their trash if it could be done.
Why don't you describe this simple process to us all (in complete and accurate detail) so I can start a company doing exactly that if it really works and I can make a profit at it?
The government cannot make the money from this type of production that they can make from the current oil program. Therefore, they have no incentive to change, even though this process is better for the environment.
greed, that's why. it takes too much effort to do that. it's easier to just get it from someone else, cheap, then make tons of profit from it. and the fact that people in a position to care, don't care about the environment.
Once again, the answer is still the same. It is not cost effective.
