[General] Thermal Depolymerization

Finally, something that we have plenty of that can be recycled to crude oil. Anything into Oil shows that "turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores" can be used to create "high-quality oil, clean-burning gas, and purified minerals that can be used as fuels, fertilizers, or specialty chemicals for manufacturing". It's great! Can't wait till it gets a bit more affordable, which they are aiming in 3 to 5 years.
