RE: [Biofuel] Liquid Coal

Hi All,

Liquifying coal is not environmentally friendly in my opinion. It's
processing uses large quantities of cancer causing solvents and it leaves a
residue that is both difficult to degrade and loaded with cancer causing
substances. You are still using a fossil fuel.

Hello, I am interested in finding about Liquid Coal.  For what I hear,
it seems it is environmentally friendly and cheaper to produce given the
high oil prices today.I am located in Montreal, and if anybody knows
about someone wortking on this technology I would be totally interested.
Thank you.  By the way, this is an awesome mailinglist!!!
Best regards, Luis.
