It seems like this waste-to-fuel company should probably get a little more
time in the spotlight. After all, they're actually doing something that works.
Biodeisel is just one of the plant's useful output products.
From their press room page:

"Changing World Technologies’ waste-to-oil subsidiary, Renewable
Environmental Solutions, shipped more than 250,000 gallons (6000 barrels)
of renewable diesel fuel in April 2006, representing approximately 30% of
the plant’s capacity. The plant is expected to achieve full capacity in the
near future.
CWT’s renewable diesel product enables local purchasers to offset the
rapidly escalating cost of fuel which has disrupted normal operation for
many companies.
The quantity of oil RES currently supplies to the market makes a small but
significant impact in helping the U.S. to meet its energy needs, utilizing
domestic, renewable sources. It is a step towards energy independence
which helps reduce our country’s reliance on foreign suppliers, while
creating an economically viable solution for the disposal of waste.
Changing World Technologies has been inundated with inquiries since the
most recent feature about our company in the April issue of Discover
magazine, which has followed the company’s development since 2003. We
are tremendously encouraged by the continued high level of interest in our
thermal conversion technology from many different sectors of the economy,
the government and the general public. Although we are unable to respond
directly to the volumes of queries we receive, we do appreciate the staunch
support and hope that those who have reached out to us take
encouragement in our ongoing progress.
We are most grateful to the city of Carthage, MO; the Missouri Department
of Natural Resources and the State Attorney General’s office for working
with RES to help ensure that our first commercial plant to utilize this
promising new technology, which successfully converts low-value waste into
high-value oil, is operated appropriately."
