Turn Garbage into Energy

Popular Science has an article on the technology of plasma converters, which uses supercharged plasma (lots of ions generated from air) to reduce trash to its molecular compounds, such as hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, and converts these to fuel. It is self-sustaining and can generate net excess of energy. The investment is supposed to be returned in 10 years. Anyway, it is really interesting, and would help reduce our landfills, which would be awesome!
