This is like a hybrid SUV, I'll explain why. If you care about the environment the best thing you could do (assuming you must drive a car) is to buy a small car with a small engine, something like a Toyota corolla. A hybrid SUV lets people think that they can keep on doing what they have been doing and do not have to make major changes in order to stop the earth from changing into a big garbage dump. This composter gives me the same feeling. I understand that is some circumstances this product might have benefits, but just like a hydrid SUV, it is a step in the wrong direction.

Also, with the $300-$400 dollars that this thing costs, much larger environmental benefits could be realized than the few gallons of trash-truck gas that it will save over its lifetime.

So that's a logical argument for you, but really it's just stupid.

This is like a hybrid SUV. Good, but only when view from up real close. The further you step back, the dumber it seems.

Composting is about doing things simply, naturally, and as has been done prior to the technological and industrial revolution in society. There is nothing simple or natural about a $400 electric composter. This is a dumb idea.

A composter that plugs in defeats the purpose. The reason to compost is to save energy use and expense which occurs from collecting organic trash.

Where can I get one of these? How much do they cost?

Ever try getting nuclear waste out of your government records?

The fact that a person can be bankrupted (extremely unlikely) as a result of personal data leaks is a problem with the lawes in this country, not a problem with data.

Data != Nuclear Waste

Personal data may last a long time, but after you are dead, it is not such a big deal. Nuclear waste could poison your great-grandchildren.

Personal data in the wrong hands can ruin your year and create a major pain in the ass. Nuclear waste can give you cancer and kill you.

I think nuclear waste is a poor choice for analogy, trivializing a problem larger than data leaks.
