Well, I think I'll take the floor and make a motion.....
The next MS of the environmental world is going to be NECX, "//do I hear a second..".

Nathaniel Energy has taken the new proof-of-concept development technology for converting old tires into "FUEL" and turned it into a service business.
To the best of my knowledge, the NUMBER ONE problem with the swelling landfills all over the United States is "..what to do with the damn tires...".
The previous solutions were either minimalistic (i.e.: convert them into add-mixtures for asphalt or track oval filler for runners) - or - were unacceptable (i.e.: direct reduction by burning).
Carbon black is recoverable and reusable, the steel cords from some radials (Michelins, etc.) can be recycled, and some of the fabrics can be recovered, But, the oil that can be reduced from old tires can be used in steam or hot water power boilers, or oil-type furnaces.
It can also be mixed with diesel fuels, if I remember my research from two years ago. The Discovery Channel, TLC, or Beyond 2000 did a bit on the proof-of-concept work back then.
If you want to get in on a real "money-maker", and want to be officially "Hollyweird-environmentalist-approved" (..I love it when thespians, who can't read a thermometer, tell me how to save the Ozone layer..) at the same time; this is your ticket to ride.
