Good news, everyone. General Motors is planning to make ethanol fuel from garbage. That's like killing a flock of birds with one stone!

The prestigious Argonne National Laboratory analyzed Coskata's process and found it generates up to 7.7 times the amount of energy used and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 84 percent compared with a well-to-wheel analysis of gasoline.

What a brilliant measure until the sunlight to petrol process can be made viable in a larger scale.
