Who cares how much fuel you can get from garbage, its garbage! Tires, plastic, paper, wood, probably anything that contains carbon and hydrogen in large amounts could be used as a feedstock, though I suppose the process is more efficient when using cellulose (woody fibre) from plant materials. The fact that it can recycle difficult things like tires is excellent. Does it solve everything? No. But it does kill 3 birds with 1 stone: lessen the load in landfills, reduce emissions, and reduce your dependence on foreign oil. In the grand scheme of things, it sounds like it will be the most cost effective way of doing things.

I agree. Pollution is a bigger problem than just emissions. If we can use waste as recycled fuel, then we should. The next step is reducing toxins.
