Thanks. One thing: you might want to fix the links.

I think this is a great step forward. It is renewable, creates no net--NET--CO2 increase, and gets rid of waste. What's not to like? However, because of politics, this guy may take his business to Europe instead of the US. In the US, farms are allowed to feed the remains of rendered animals back to the stock. In Europe, this is illegal. That means that in the US, Appel has to pay the turkey rendering plants for the turkey guts, because the companies can save money by feeding it back to stock. In Europe, rendering plants would be paying him to take it off their hands. In fact, last time I checked (discussed in the third article) he was planning to make a full-scale plant in France.
