38. It also process stuff that was not petroleum in the beginning.

It will process sewage, grass, turkey guts (That's what the plant in Carthage, MO is processing), household garbage (The solid stuff that won't process just goes to the bottom of the tank.)and lots of other waste.

How much do we spend on landfills? Most of the stuff that goes into a landfill can be processed by a TDP plant.

An article in Discover magazine estimated that the agricultural waste in the USA alone would be enough to completely replace all of our imported oil.

Add to that the other types of alternative energy and some price induced conservation, (SUVs will become unpopular due to higher gas prices.)and we will be OK.

There are other things that I am very concerned about, but peak oil has been solved.
