Why the hell aren't we funding this?

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

Wouldn't this stop the need for oil drilling?

Oh wait.
That's probably why it's not being funded.

"If you burn 1kg of plastic it turns into 3kg of CO2"

wat

"Using electricity and heat we can return it to oil and reduce about 80% of CO2 emission"

Oh yeah, you mean using heat and electricity generated by burning oil and coal? Okay.

And let's clarify that this video is extremely deceptive. This device doesn't sit on a table and rapidly turn plastic into oil; though they didn't admit it, that's just a tool for demonstration since they can't haul the real 4500 square foot machine around. So yeah, this could be a really useful device someday when we embrace nuclear power and have large amounts of clean energy, but right now this machine causes far more pollution than it claims to save.

Interesting. Still, do you think it's a viable way to deal with the massive waste problem we have now? I mean, look at the Pacific trash island

Well the 'trash island' thing is basically a myth, but yes, something like this could be a really great way to deal with waste, but it shouldn't be touted as green technology when it burns oil to make more oil; that's literally the opposite of green technology. Once oil becomes more scarce and we're forced to get our energy from different methods, I think we'll see this technology in use. Oil is essential, and will never go away. Its energy density simply can't be replaced by batteries, no matter how efficient they become.

I mean there isn't literally an island of trash. In fact you can't even really see it. Pictures of huge piles of trash floating in the water aren't of that area. It's just a large area with an abnormally high concentration of plastics (4 particles per cubic meter, according to Wikipedia).

Okay good, you're not trying to say that it doesn't exist. I know it's not a literal island, but it's still something that's our fault and that should be cleaned up at some point, because it's still extremely harmful to the ocean's ecosystem.
