Getting Started

So I am just getting started here.

This blog is meant to serve a purpose, at least for me, if not for anyone else.

So I am an MBA student at the Johnson School of Management at Cornell University. I am working on a big project on Waste to Fuel, specifically, using ultra-high temperature gasification from plasma torches to vaporize garbage and landfill wastes to produce green fuels and clean the environment at the same time. My project is supposed to be a business plan. This whole area of research is incredibly fascinating to me. I am convinced that the technology does/can work, but it is an art as much as a science, and it is a large industrial process requiring substantial amounts of money. I have done a ton of research and have so much material that I have been finding it to be very challenging to reduce it down to a coherent business plan. I am planning on using this blog as a method to work through my material and get it into a presentable form. And maybe if anyone actually reads it I may even get some feedback.

So the theme of this blog is going to be me presenting the things I have been learning. I am not an expert presenting expert knowledge, merely a student striving to develop some expertise. In that spirit I may present things that may prove to be completely wrong or technically off the mark, but I will try to present theories as theories and hypotheses as hypotheses, and give credit where ever credit is due with regards to the information I come up and the people it came from. I will also strive to correct my mistakes!

Hello,
We may be able to be of mutual help, we are working on a business plan for an energy park that will have plasma gasification as its core business. I would appreciate
a private (email to email) contact to begin with, before we post our plans online.
Regards,
F. McCann
