AgroWaste Oil Plant Starts Production 730
An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo, and others has a story about the first Waste-to-Oil plant going online, and selling the oil commercially. Using TCP (Thermal Conversion Process), the plant is producing 100-200 barrels of No. 4 oil a day, and has the capacity to produce up to 500 barrels per day. With the amount of agricultural waste in the U.S., and many more of these plants, we could possibly reduce our need for foreign oil."

You see, one day while driving back from a LUG^H^H^H my girlfriends place on I-64 my gas light came on. I knew I had about 20 miles before I ran out, and I if I booked I could make it home without having to refill in the middle of the night at some creepy gas station in the country. I figured I'd give it a shot and play gas tank roulette. I tripped the meeter and started watching the miles.
Well, it was pretty late and I was starting to get tired to I popped in a Gloria Est^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H KoRn CD to keep me awake and started letting the rythm get me. It wasnt until 5 miles past my exit that I realized my mistake. I looked down at my console and my gas light had turned off. Thats weird I thought. There was another exit I could take about 3 miles from my location and I could back track through town to get to my apartment. By the time I got close to my apartment I had driven almost 40 miles. The next day I woke up late for work and without thinking I got in my car and began the 25 mile commute to work. An entire day went by before I remembered that I needed gas. By then I had clocked in almost 100 miles and still my car wasnt thirsty. That was 3 years ago, and I've long since stopped counting how many times the meter tripped back over to zero. I laugh as my friends pay $2 at the pump while I whizz past in my god-mode oldsmobile.
Dont believe me? Next time you see the feed-me light come on ignore it and find out for yourself. Its a huge conspiricy I tell you. Fight the Man! Dont buy gasoline, drive 80 MPH down the freeway with your top down and windows up with the AC running. Drink 5 tall cups of coffee a day at starbucks knowing that you're still saving money not buying gas. Wash behind your ears and run linux... in the shower.
Let that be a lesson to all of you.

It's gotta be one of these: surely it's not possible for someone to actually misspell OPEC [opec.org] twice in one posting!
