If you have fission heat and electricity already, why would you bother to convert them into oil? It seems like a losing proposition. The only purpose would be to supply liquid fuel for transporation, and I expect you could do that cheaper by synthesizing hydrocarbons directly, and with plug in hybrids. We are talking about a multibillion dollar investment either way. Why not do it the easy way? - Jed
