That and the people who are against storage facilities and pipelines.

GTL doesn’t need to be everywhere to get started. We have plenty of places, like around Houston Texas, where it could get started if it was economic without subsidy.

It is done by Shell and Sasol for example, but only in places where the natural gas supply is so much greater than the demand, that it drives the local gas price very low.

For example, Shell has a huge GTL facility in Qatar. From Qatar, it competes with exported LNG, where it can be cost effective. Shell looked at bring a plant to the US recently, but the economics are not there, at least not for us.
