That is quite impressive. I wonder why I haven't heard of this before, should be all over the science news. The only thing I don't understand is how in the world is this going to slow down global warming. Their argument that, since they are dot digging up any new compounds and burning them, there will not be more carbon released into the atmosphere is bogus. All the waste does not usually get converted into carbon dioxide and thus does not "pollute" the atmosphere. However, since we are now converting it to oil and burning it, it would only increase global warming (well, not really increase, since we are replacing fossil fuels, but it definitelly will not decrease it).
