It would seem that major Cities and Counties would benefit tremendously from this type of technology. If nothing else, they could establish such a plant just for the purpose of producing fuel for their fleets. I wonder though, if they did so, what would it further cost to refine the fuel, so that they could use it? Also, the Governments establishing these ventures would have to possess spines of steel, because if this starts becoming feasible, nothing would stop the oil producers from drastically lowering the price of a barrel of oil. And once that happened, they would face criticism of having expensive oil producing systems when oil is so "cheap."

Regardless, it is time to start such ventures.

The oil produced would be refined just the same as crude oil OPEC produces. I beleive it would run cleaner, though, which would be a nice enviornmental benefit as well.
