Soup manufacturing en masse..
-
People Soup? Just go to any public swimming pool . . . and don't ask about the seasonings! Serious Part: "Green" - does anyone care to take into account the pollution caused in the manufacture of the chemicals involved in the alkaline solution? There's energy. There's the by products. Just to start. What you've done in this farcical "green" solution is moved the pollution off to somewhere else where you don't have to think about it. The closest you'll get to a 'green' disposal of a body is burial in plain pine boxes and or only a shroud (naked would be better but, well, you know how people are). This is currently practice by Jews and Muslims. No embalming, either.

And serial killers. They are quite green in their disposal methods.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
No - have left my body to medical science as I do not anticipate that I will need it post my demise, and then it's naked* cremation when they are done**. * No box - not no clothes ** This may change with hospital best practice but is the current procedure.

So now, everyone can be buried as a murder victim. What will they think of next? </sarc>

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

A pleasure. When do you have time?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

Nope. Once upon a time I needed only split seconds to make a crater hole.

Explosives, but where is the difference. I trained using both in El Paso.

Well, it says they're using Potassium Hydroxide which can be made from Potassium Chloride via electrolysis (giving of Hydrogen and Chlorine gas, which you could keep). It seems there are a few ways to get Potassium Chloride so I don't know what the exact by products of that would be, but according to Wikipedia you can also burn Potassium in the presence of Chlorine to get back to Potassium Chloride. The only other by products are the body that you're disposing of, and they may treat the resulting solution to recover the Potassium or anything else they may consider valuable. It certainly seems more 'green' than burning.

Plus the transportation and storage of these chemicals.. yeah, it seemed a bit rich calling it "green" to me too. Kind of like electric vehicles being clean (moving the pollution off to a distant power station).

I do not understand why people spend thousands of dollars to bury someone. Just drop me in a hole and cover me with dirt. What's the big deal?

You're really missing the point: where did the energy come from for the electrolysis of the KCl ? Doesn't that energy count (vs. energy of the cremation)? This is not done in solution, by the way, but on molten KCl [ 1,418°F (770°C) ] and that kind of heat doesn't come cheap, environmentally. And where did that KCl come from . . . "Burning potassium in the presence of chlorine" is correct - and silly in this case. All you need to do is throw the potassium in water - get to a safe distance in case it explodes - and it will react with the water to produce your KOH and hydrogen gas. But you must look at the entire system before you make environmental judgements. If you look at an ad put out by someone standing to make a profit - they'll ignore the history. Or, like in the Wizard of Oz, "don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain".

Electric cars? Everything depends upon where you get electricity. If you burn fossil fuel then it's stupid. Literally, yesterday, I saw a neighbor who has solar panels on his roof - charging his Tesla. Similarly, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear power make sense of electric cars. Hydrogen fuel cell cars? Now That's Stupid. Where does the hydrogen come from? Water. How do you get it? Electrolysis. It would make much more sense to charge the cars batteries then get the energy from that electricity second-hand. And there, too, what energy source produces the electricity for the electrolysis?
