Convert Plastic Into Oil

Hello -

(Maybe this belongs in the Lounge?)

One of my pals sent this to me. What do you think?

Man Invents Machine To Convert Plastic Into Oil
Quote:
The machine produced in various sizes, for both industrial and home uses, can easily transform a kilogram of plastic waste into a liter of oil, using about 1 kW·h of electricity but without emitting CO2 in the process. The machine uses a temperature controlling electric heater instead of flames, processing anything from polyethylene or polystyrene to polypropylene (numbers 2-4).

Comment: 1 kg of plastic produces one liter of oil, which costs $1.50. This process uses only about 1 kW·h of electricity, which costs less than 20 cents!
