Is cold plasma pyrolysis or gasification or whatever overhyped as a waste solution or can we truly turn food + plastic waste into hydrogen/syngas/oil with net production of energy? (hexbear.net)

Does it explode too easily? Too much overhead?

I'm not the one suggesting it's actually a good idea to burn more fossil fuels

Where do you think plastic comes from?

Should we just throw fuel and energy directly into the ground?

more discussions of interesting fossil fuel related harm reduction tech. keep in mind steel is not going anywhere so the method of capturing then fermenting such fumes into methanol (then fermenting into protein from the methanol) will continue to be useful even in a maximum clean energy future

nobody is saying "eat coal flakes!!!"
