Discovery’s Cable TV Channel, “Science” has done a segment on the Environmental Corporation Startech, for its premiere broadcast of the new show “City 2.0″ which covers new environmental technologies and solutions. Startech has created a system to convert waste into valuable commodities, clean energy and pure water. They have created “The Plasma Converter” to revolutionize the way municipalities handle waste and generate electricity. One of the biggest by-products is clean water, in amounts far greater and more cost effective than desalinization. Also, surplus “Clean Electricity” is generated in the process of eliminating waste products, and ultimately no pollution or greenhouse gasses are released into the environment. This technology will solve many challenges the world faces today.
