There is a much bigger project already well underway that has the potential to turn landfills full of garbage into energy and valuable raw materials. The process is called Thermal Depolymerization, or TD and you can read all about it at
One thing I found interesting. When the TD project first began, they were able to obtain their raw materials (turkey guts) for free from the turkey processing plants. With free raw materials, the TD plant was turning out barrels of oil cheaper that we can presently import them. Well we just couldn’t have that, so the government reversed a previous decision that made feeding turkey guts back to turkeys illegal. Suddenly the guys running the TD had to pay for their raw materials, which means that the oil they produce now costs more than the imported oil......... who's side is the government on anyway? Do we really need to be overseas defending a supply of oil that we could be producing for ourselves for free?
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
