Barbarossa made a similar joke in the Abiotic Oil vs. Peak Oil Theory thread where I originally posted it.

It's a no-brainer IMO that if you can make oil from people, someone will. The Nazis certainly would have if they could have, and the world is overdue for another round of concentration camp construction by a murderous bad guy. It's just a matter of time.

But for plastics, not only can the oil be made into plastics, but TD can turn plastics back into oil. It's the ultimate recycling! It would eliminate the vast majority of trash put in landfills, if collection were optimized. It even destroys the notoriously durable prions that cause Mad Cow and Creutzfeldt/Jakob disease, so there's no biological contamination present in the few by-products. Medical waste is an excellent candidate for the process, saving millions in disposal costs each year.

The article is kinda long, so here is the link.

EDIT:  I fixed the link, thanks, manticorefan.

the link is broken, you probably use FF. Any links made with FF need to be edited and relinked when on ST. I switch to IE rendering for posting links now, it's the little icon in the lower right corner of the browser window.

Raising the gas tax would be terrible! In an economy in reccession, cheap petrol is one of the few advantages. Take that away and it contracts even more!
