Recycling is necessary in order for us to be good stewards of our planet but it is also expensive to process. .After the recyclables get to the recycling station they need to be sorted manually.
What if all we had to do was to separate out our paper and we could leave everything else go with the regular garbage.
There is a relatively new way to produce power called a Plasma Converter that will take all garbage, toxins, wet or dry and molecularly dissociate everything and the results is power, a metal slag, a process gas and hydrogen and a solid harmless stone material that can be used for roads. The best part of this process is there are zero emissions,
Places that have a garbage crisis like Japan, any island country, Hawaii or large city are starting to embrace this relatively new technology. Funny thing is we rarely hear about it as a solution to our power and oil crisis.
All we hear about is building new nuclear power plants which will just produce even more problems for our planet in the future. See with nuclear we are never reminded the cost of cleaning up a power plant after it is decommissioned. What do you do with all the equipment exposed to the radioactive uranium, spent fuel and the radioactive waste?
It is clear that the problem with solar and wind is that it is not there when you need it. The plasma converter could be used instead of nuclear power and coal fired fossil fuel power plants and we will always have fuel because we will always have garbage.
The challenge is the people that collect and store and process the garbage know nothing about making power and the people or utility companies know nothing about processing garbage. Unless we can regulate and legislate the 2 entities into getting together it may never happen.
Until we can get the word out and tell people there is a solution that not only give us an endless supply of power, the uses a fuel that is free and renewable but also solves our problem of covering the world in our garbage and contaminating our water supplies.
Plasma converters use high current that runs through electrodes and the plasma and produces temperatures as hot as the sun. There are costs for this process. It takes one forth of its power to run the process but the process cleans up the environment and produces products that are useful and the fuel is renewable and it is free.
Until more people hear about this process and politicians embrace it we will continue down the road with the status quo and special interests who support nuclear and coal fired plants. What we need is that every one that reads this article to pass the link to their friends and people in high places, Al Gore and both candaidates. There are several companies that are producing this product and I have zero interest in any one of them at this time but I am more interested in making a difference.
