I found this little blurb on using plastics by synthesizing them into crude oil and other fuels. The basis of this is on the abundance of plastic we have; 4 million pounds of plastics were recycled in 2009 and still more are filling up landfills. This news release claims that if this were done then there could be enough material to fuel the equivalent of 6 million cars annually. I think that this is astounding and if the technology could be implemented it would do a lot for the fuel issues we are all experiencing. It would be an interesting idea to watch and see if anything comes of it in the future.
