Now For Something Completely Different...

An Open Letter To My State's Federal Senators:

Dear Senator ____________ :

As one of your constituents, I am asking you to launch a Senatorial investigation into the Catalytic Depolymerization industry -- particularly to determine just who is placing obstructions in the path of its development, at a time when we need it so badly.

Catalytic Depolymerization is a chemical/mechanical process which turns not just plastic waste but all organic garbage into pure minerals and fuel oils -- diesel oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.  If put into serious production this industry could produce billions of barrels of fuel while cleaning the garbage out of our seas, sewers and landfills.  It would make petroleum no longer a fossil fuel but something that can be created -- like "natural" gas -- from renewable sources.  It would also  solve our garbage problems for the foreseeable future.

There are already several start-up companies trying to develop and apply this technology right now.  One would think that they'd be welcomed as heroes -- but instead they're running into a lot of opposition, overt and covert, ranging from fanatical environmental groups who want to end all use of plastics or gasoline to big oil companies who don't want rivals producing fuel from cheap and abundant sources.  At a time when fuel is used as a weapon of war and when gas prices are rising to ridiculous heights, bringing on soaring inflation and economic depression, we need to expose this opposition and encourage the growth of this industry.  

You can begin, as I did, simply by looking up "catalytic depolymerization" on the internet and following the leads from there.  Please, Senator, start now.

Sincerely, 

Leslie Fish
