Plasma Zapper Zaps Waste and Produces Clean Energy
...The fact that we haven't been doing something like this before baffles me, it seems so easy...

There are two byproducts: one is a "syngas" composed mostly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which can be converted into fuel. The other is molten glass that can be sold for use in household tiles or road asphalt. Amazingly, plasma converters produce enough energy to power themselves, and actually produce an excess of energy that can be sold to the grid.
