Pardon me, but what advantage is there in consuming more natural gas, which is supposedly in short supply this winter, and converting it to diesel?

Alot of natural gas is already burned off as it is. Schweitzer has been lobbying for the coal to diesel method instead of NG.

Its coal to diesel, I believe. Gas to diesel would be crazy.

You got to understand what kind of projects Syntroleum is doing...

It is drilling wells in a low BTU gas area in Kansas that no one wanted to drill because is was low BTU....its process makes these wells viable.

Its process is great for stranded gas wells...where there is no pipeline to take the gas to market.

Its Nigerian project is trying to put its process on a huge barge fifty miles off shore to convert gas to liquid that can then be shipped to market.
