Germany powered a lot of things with oil from coal during WWII.
Its been practical for a long time.

Its been practical for a long time. Before the turn of the 20th century coal gasification was common. It was called "city gas" back then.....

Same thing with South Africa. SASOL is the SA big oil company and has technology like this.
Anyone know how many potential barrels of oil Texas may have? I would love TX to screw the Saudis with TX coal oil.
