Waste to Energy - Burning Turkey Feces
Waste to Energy - Burning Turkey Feces
April 15, 2007
A revolutionary plant in USA is turning 270 tons of poultry waste into 300 barrels of crude oil every day. That would be cause for wild celebration in many circles if not for some problems. First, the plant is losing money, and second, some residents of the town that once welcomed it now pretty much hate it. It turns out that process of cooking turkey waste and other waste gives off - not surprisingly - a horrible stench.
Solution? The owner is considering a deal to build a plant in Ireland, where costs would be considerably less, and where a recent news article predicted a plant should be operating by next year.
