If there is a single piece of technology that I can point to and say "This is the future I've been waiting for," it's thermal conversion.

The new Discover magazine article

The prototype plant has gone through serious growing pains and come out stronger than ever... and Ireland hopes to have one next year. We need to push our lawmakers into making the US more attractive, via subsidies, additional rules on feedstocks (we need to cut out poultry cannibalism anyway) and grants. Let's get us some of these to chew up our landfills, agricultural wastes, raw sewage, tire piles, electronic and hazardous wastes, and anything else we can think of.

Oil doesn't just come from the land of the dinosaurs anymore.

I remember this from back when it was new.. it's really nice to see something like this still going and progressing into something viable on an industrial scale. Far too often the really cool tech just seems to disappear before it gets to this stage..
