—”Wasn’t Shell involved with some such project “

IIRC many of the majors were working on it.

Mostly I remember the goofy stuff, like safety requiring an outside explosive storage container for the coal that sometimes was shipped via the US Post Office.
They had a small pallet load of coal just sitting out for some time before it was noticed.

I think the area was zoned as Class II Div 1.

Also, a different process, coal gasification, and the Chinese are on it too.

At the time all the talk was about buying stock and making a bundle. Mostly talk as you could be suddenly unemployed and worse.
