Its veeery intresting, and I would so want one. though you KNOW that the US would put some sort of ban on it or send CIA operatives to kill this man. I mean, their raking in the bucks with the high prices, and here comes this guy who says that he can not only solve the massive garbage problem in the world, but also solve all of the fuel concerns as well. So bye bye huge profits for oil companies, bye bye massive government hand-outs to said oil corporations who already make millions, and say hello to happy consumer. Its gotta make some rich oil baron unhappy about this.

I look at the site URL, and think "catfuel? OMGWTFBBQ?!?!"
Then I hope that the site explains everything: it does.
Of course, it's a good thing that ordinary rubbish can be turned into fuels. It's just another alternative fuel, along with all the alternative energy sources.

I have heard other stories about rubbish being turned into gasoline. You sort of have to do the same thing nature did to dead trees and swamp muck to turn it into oil - compress it at high pressure. They've known how to do it for a while now, they just have trouble figuring out how to do it in a cost-effective way. But if this guy's machine really does the job then that's wonderful.

There's a similar process at use here in the U.S. (a couple of years ago there was a story of such a plant being set up at a turkey farm). It's supposedly great for fuel oil / diesel fuel; but I'm not sure how much it costs to convert that to gasoline.

Quote: It's an alternative fuel that is friendly for the environment. But it's complete nonsense to suggest dead cats. I've never used cats and would never think of that. At most the odd toad may have jumped in."
Does anyone else find that quote really, really funny?
