" Use the residual heat from the reactors above to process motor fuel from coal and/or shale. Even though Clinton "stole" some of the best coal reserves, we still have a lot to use."I saw the end of a news story about South Africa. They have a refinery in South Africa that makes gasoline out of coal.
Do you think this will work here? Since I did not catch the entire story, I am not sure of the costs or efficiency. Has anyone heard anything about this?
THANKS!!

IIRC, less than two years ago the break-even point for coal to gas was $45 USD/bbl. The problem comes with the permit procedures and carbon sequestration. The bureaucracy and the court system is why everything, exploration, drilling and/or refineries, supposedly takes ten years.
