Chiming in in the middle of this discussion...
The Germans during WWII successfully developed production of
synthetic fuel from coal. THe Fischer Tropsch process was invented
in Germany.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer-Tropsch_process
Using pyrolysis, we have enough coal in our "non coal producing"
state within 100' of the surface to supply 100% of the state's needs
for over 100 years.
Alternately, growing sunflowers on 1/16th of the land would make the
state a net exporter of fuel
Most states can grow sunflowers.
Gary,
I agree. Hitler would also have been a fan of synthetic
diesel, but not our current government or oil companies.
Best Wishes,
Roger
