Sure, I get a kick typing thermal depolymerization and dreaming of a bright, clean future. This article also makes for some great quotes and water cooler conversation:

If a 175-pound man fell into one end, he would come out the other end as 38 pounds of oil, 7 pounds of gas, and 7 pounds of minerals, as well as 123 pounds of sterilized water.

"There is no reason why we can't turn sewage, including human excrement, into a glorious oil," says engineer Terry Adams, a project consultant.

It really is a lovely oil.
