Yes, if true, india can be super power within 20 years and the scientists must be given bharat ratana and all possible honours and incentives so that crooked westerners do not steal as usual our technolgies as has been happening in case of tradtioal medicine and folk remedies and medicinal herbs.Hope the news is not an exaggeration and congrats to the team of scientostsus for making such revolutionary discoveries too

Kudankulam
by Indian bhai on Nov 16, 2011 05:22 PM

As India needs Electricity, the Kudankulam Atomic Power project should not be stopped.But Who takes the risk should be given more priority, means 60% of electricity produced should be given to Tamil Nadu and 30KM area around kugankulam should be given at Free of cost.
if still any body opposes the project on the basis of life risk they should be given option to relocate like mumbai, rajastan, Dhar Desert or some remote areas, where their life is safe. If you have any property - take compensation from govt as per govt value of your property. Who lives in and around kudankulam should get free ration, free electricity and Job.

Keep this info away from types of Sunita Narain, Jairam Ramesh and Medha Patkar, they will find the whole process highly polluting and not give environmental clearance !! Sunita Narain will say that since the plastic is from diesel cars, disel cars should be taxed more !! MERA BHARAT MAHAAAN, HE BHAGWAN TU KAHAAN ?

Plastic is produced from petroleum. It can be converted back into whatever it came from, but not cost effective.

Sorry friend, this is already happening in the US. They are now making fuel from a lot of other things including plastics.So no patents for us. Nevertheless i salute our scientists for their hard work and success.Millions of tons of plastic bags pollute our cities. They are the main reason for floods in Mumbai, due to choked drains.I hope the govt puts in serious efforts to take this forward.

A revolutionary invention!!
by Jit on Nov 16, 2011 04:32 PM

It's a great achievement. India should market it with a proper strategic move. Hope this invention will keep the fuel price cheaper and will reduce the dominance of current players in world fuel market.
