Re: E-M:/ Trash (and much more) Gasification......Re: Out of state trash/Granholm

As to the Granholm push for trash gasification,
industrial interests for trash/coal/sewage sludge/wood chip/hazardous
waste/
petroleum coke/petroleum waste gasification have their very own 
Washington DC lobbying and educational organization.....the Gasification
Technologies Council

Remember that gasification units can use "low grade" wastes as
long as they 
contain sufficient carbon and hydrogen and are free of excessive water
and 
too great a portion of non combustables.
