Fischer-Tropsch rocks.
Diesal fuel recently has been twenty or thirty cents a gallon more than premium gas. THAT will have to stop before I ever buy a diesal car.
Cool! Thanks for posting this.
Might be a coal gassification or coal liquification plant coming to Anchorage in support of a chemical plant of some kind. There isn't much actual manufacturing industry in Alaska at this point in time.
Great technology, all it takes is a buttload of cheap electricity to make it profitable. What's that? Electricity isn't cheap? Crud, back to the drawing table.
"mid sized hydrocarbons with 4-8 carbon atoms and can't be used as fuel..."?????
I need to go down to the local store and get some high OCTANE gas.
Come to think of it, I need a new BUTANE lighter. And while I'm out, I might as well fill up my PROPANE tank.
