Let's discuss 'Is garbage our future for energy or is it just rubbish?'.
Kim Kirkendall is bullish on the prospects of garbage -- old tires, household trash, even hog and cow manure. If the president of Las Vegas-based startup Energy-Inc. is right -- and it's hard to doubt him when he gets on a roll -- his optimism could translate into jobs here in Elkhart County. Perhaps 500 of them.

| Likewise, Jim Childress, executive director of the Gasification Technology Council in Arlington, Va., cites "the upfront capital cost." Still, he's a fan of gasification. No kidding? There's no burning, so the the advanced thermal conversion technology, as Energy-Inc. calls it, is relatively clean. Aha! The devil is in the details. Relatively. "So these types of investments are financially risky, which is also something we found out about corn ethanol," Seager said in an e-mail. For a time, ethanol plant construction in the United States boomed, he noted, but then "price structures changed," loans for plants dried up and many ethanol facilities went belly up. Yes, that is certainly what we need here. Financially risky ventures which are being compared to corn ethanol production. Cuz we all know what a salvation red herring risky investment corn ethanol has become. "Absolutely guaranteed," he said of Energy-Inc.'s systems, which would be used to power its manufacturing facility here, keeping it off the power grid. "It's guaranteed." How many times outside of a used car dealership have you heard someone say that?

Relatively./ Relatively.....gotta love that word. I have leaves going under advanced thermal conversion right now,and it's relatively clean. Seriously, let's ask neighbors of a bio-mass plant if they think it is relatively clean....I'll bet they beg to differ.
