I tried to do it but it may bounce. My first thoughts on this subject of plastic to fuel, go to the huge mass of floating plastic out in the Pacific Ocean. I wish someone would finance building a large floating platform on some old ocean going barges and construct a refinery. The raw material is free in international waters and probably would cost less than pumping, shipping and then refining conventional crude oil. The finished synthetic petroleum distillate products can be shipped and sold at a premium to any developed island nearby, The reserve of raw plastic in the Pacific Ocean would even be a renewable resource as more plastic is constantly being dumped and washed into the pacific basin. This would even be a great project for one of the major oil companies to invest in. Probably among the largest untapped oil reserves in the world, Centrally located to pacific rim markets. The only place you can produce oil and clean up the planet in a big way at the same time. Comments? Dan Dimiduk

One day, we also might have stoves running on plastic. Oh wait, it already exists :) -- Xavier Brandao Prakti Design Lab _www.PraktiDesign.com_ (http://www.praktidesign.com/)
