So perhaps what we need is Poo-Roombas http://www.irobot.com/uk/ on every
farm? Or train dogs to collect crap (they seem to like eating the stuff
well enough) rather than using children as is common in the 3rd world.
It's probably cheaper and easier to dry and burn the excrement to create
energy
The profit motive can change the way farmer’s think of their waste streams:
i.e. from a nuisance to a lucrative profit center.
The removal of animal waste can be completely automated on the farm for
rapid conversion to $3 a gallon biodiesel. The advantage of process heat
from cold fusion is

Hi,

For the farmer, one of the most important outputs of the Molten Salt
Oxidation Process (MSOP) is biochar. In traditional methods of biomass fast
pyrolysis, this char is used to fire the bioreactor and is turned into
If the greens, the politicians, and the medical communities are smart, they
will postpone the introduction of cold fusion into the transportation
market to clean up the environment and farming by removing the leaking
animal waste lagoons, the mountains of manure, save billions of dollars in

Hi,

The total US yearly manure production capacity is about 2,100,000,000 tons.
The MSOP can accomidate the 40% moisture content of which 1,260,000,000
tons of dry content is estimated.
..but most of this manure is spread
To cover the losses in waste production from small operations, it may be
appropriate to extend the analysis to more types of waste streams.
First, Chicken manure.
Estimation of the total yearly United States bio-diesel production
capability from chicken manure.
Chicken manure weight = 0.21
Probably not, but maybe they should be...
... since the frakcers are multiplying like rabbits these days; and the most
profitable thing to do with all that methane is probably to convert it to
gasoline at the well-head.

It seems to me that most corporate business models follow
methodologies that closely resemble the theory of evolution.
Businesses fight for survival out in the Serengeti Plains populated by
fickle consumers - prey. They survive by
A major application of 650C-950C LENR molten salt reactors is the Molten
Salt Oxidation Process (MSOP). It applies directly to the topic at hand:
synfuels.
MSOP equipment and technology can function to reclaim metal in elemental
form from municipal waste while reducing the hydrocarbon waste
Under current US tax law, cellulosic biofuel production has been
incentivized to an extraordinary level. An incentive in the amount of up to
$1.01 per gallon of cellulosic biofuel can be had.
The Molten Salt Oxidation Process (MSOP) can make 150 gallons of Cellulosic
Biofuel per ton of dry crop

The dollar value is 1,260,000,000 tons/year * $648/ton of waste or
$816,480,000,000 per year
