I’m not trying to argue with you on the points you mention. The import of my last post was that, while China may indeed be able to order a plant for $5-6 billion and get competitively priced CTL, once the Libs in this country get in power, as they surely will someday, they’ll place so many regulations and restrictions on the CTL plants and the mining of the coal that the price of a barrel of CTL will be much higher than many are currently projecting.
I’m trying to compare a real world price of oil vs CTL, rather than a real world price of oil vs a theoretical price of CTL.
Because this is true, we will be imported finished gasoline from these mega-refinery complexes in the future.
