Environmentalists vs the trashers :
===================================
The environmentalists do not make money from protecting the environment as they predicted.
Changing World Technologies are touting a machine that turns organic waste into oil, the realisation of the futuristic vision of Back to the Future's II "MR Fusion" the trash bin cum energy source. Which would mean even more waste needs to be created.
Even the environmentally unfriendly Americans are putting in bids for a plasma convertor trialing in Japan, converting even hazardous waste..
The Future is Waste even if natural oil runs out eventually. But then no one's really sure it will any time soon like in this century. The number of barrells predicted seem to rise over time.
What's this Knowledge Economy if oil and/or waste is going to be driving it ?
