By Haley Zaremba, published 12/12/2019Even though petrochemicals are not technically (or really any other adverb you want to insert here) edible, we eat quite a lot of them.

Alan B is right. Nuclear power + EV's + synthetic e-diesel from seawater + hydrogen for reductants in smelting steel = the future SAFE FROM FOSSIL FUEL DEPLETION!
ALAN, did you ever see the CO2 from seawater plan? Apparently CO2 is 28 times thicker in seawater than air, and cheaper to extract.

The climate denial on this forum is really quite repulsive. The Deniers make me wince. I mean, we let these people VOTE? Where is there appreciation of real science? What HAPPENED to these people? I share the same country as them? There's only one word for it, and it's what little kids say when they tread in dog poo.
Ewwww!
Now, on recycling plastic and all household rubbish? Dr James Hansen's Science Council recommends a free book "Prescription for the Planet" about breeder reactors that eat nuclear waste. But it also has a chapter on recycling plastics and dealing with general household municipal waste. See Chapter 7 "Exxon Sanitation Inc" p189.

It's all about the plasma burner. The plasma burner is not just an incinerator. It doesn't *burn* stuff, so much as rip it apart at the molecular level for recycling. It recycles ALL plastics at once (no more sorting into various P.E.T. categories), household waste, chemicals and half full old paint tins, mouldy mattresses, and even sheets of asbestos. It's not just burned for energy, but vaporised in a low oxygen chamber that sorts it like an atomic recycler. Light gases shoot off the top and go to the chemical industry to make new plastics, glues, paints, varnishes, and motor lubricants. The heavier stuff slurps out the bottom like lava and can make bricks, pavers, roof tiles or even get spun up into fibreglass. Basically household waste can be converted into half the stuff necessary to build a house! If subsidised, or when they get just a bit cheaper, it could be the end of landfill. http://eclipsenow.wordpress.com/recycle/
