The week’s almost over, so I’ve got to get this in. No, Obama has not come to his senses and called off the humanitarian bombing, but this is still good news, if it’s true. This man from Japan has invented a process to turn plastic back to oil. I suppose there’s some questions not answered in the video, such as how much energy you need to burn to do the conversion, but it still looks good:
If this really works, and if the oil companies let it see a broader application, then maybe someone can make money cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Presumably it would disappear more quickly if we cleaned it up rather than if we wait for plastic eating fish to evolve.
