Good catch~! But you forgot that PR will consume a lot of that waste.

Scene One - Camera sweeping across plains of grain, then following jolly looking lorries carrying the bounty through healthy village roads with smiling patrons raising a pint in their passing.

Another sweep through the modern stainless steel plant, past the safety inspector with her clipboard and a lens flare off the glittering pure effluent water trickling into the village steam.

And look!!! There's Helen's pony tied to the corral adjacent to the elementary school, and as the crane shot pulls us back and above, we see gleeming truck loads of refined fuel for our cars. Only a few will notice the CEO's Porsche passing them on the blind corner of the cute country road.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Off topic: would you mind italicizing your tagline? I often have to do a double-take because it seems like it's part of your comment.

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes

The thing is, his comments could very often end with this sig. Very topical.

Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.
