Why pages of drivel when the first sentence is WRONG?
"In this time of brownouts and shortened work-weeks called the energy crisis, it may cheer you to know we can make oil from coal cheaper than oil wells can produce it."
No you cant. $20 billion down the synfuels drain in 1980s was proof enough. Oil production from wells is about $13/barrel, oil from synfuels is about $50/barrel.
If you could do better, it would have been done already ....
" A Government scientist named Lewis Karrick had a lot to do with improving the basic process, but federal energy officials have been suppressing it for 50 years. They blandly deny this, claiming only the inventor can suppress his patents."
It's now 2005. the patents terms have ended. GO out there and make a mint on it, if you think it's true. NOBODY is stopping you and you'd get $100 million in VC money if this was true and not just conspiracy-theory junk.
I posted it to be looked at. Any more comments?
