Slowly but surely. Coal makes sense because we have more of it than any other resource. If we can use it in responsible ways then why not? I know the environment purists (nazis) don't like anything with hydrocarbons in it but until we have something better this is one way we can lessen our dependence on international oil.

In addition to being cheaper than oil, advocates point out that the fuel is environmentally friendlier and would also help America wean itself of foreign oil imports.

So mining for coal is more environemtally friendly that oil drilling of the coast of FL, or drilling in ANWR? I'm sure the enviro-wackos are going to support more coal mining!

They're trying to liquefy coal, and turn hydrogen into a solid (sodium borohydride). Carburetors turn gasoline into a vapor. Why can't people just be happy with the way things are?

Liquid coal?

Sounds like turkey bacon, or meatless burgers, or Fat-Free oil...or sugar-free hard candy.

What the Hell is nuclear power? Chopped liver? I'm sick and tired of these "alternative energy" articles. If they were feasible, they'd be on the market already, without being sustained by taxpayer subsidies.

Nuclear power is the most common sense energy right now for heating homes and buildings. For transportation, just drill for more oil domestically. How hard is this?

Are their coal deposits left that the greens and Democrats haven't made off limits?

"I have heard reports that China can produce oil for $25 per barrel from coal. We see it more in the $45 range here."

Everything is cheaper when produced with slave labor, and without environmental regs!

Currently in my Seattle suburb, gas is $.25 more expensive now than on election day.
