8/22 How much would gasoline cost if it all had to be made from coal
gasification processes?
\_ How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
\_ How many fingers can you fit up your ass?
Let's find out.
One... ToWHOOOOOOOO... Three... Three.
\_ How many tootsie pops can you fit up your ass?
\_ What this thread needs is a danh link.
\_ I am now positive, full of sunshine and bunnies
and no longer collect such things. - danh
\_ Where are you storing the bunnies?
\_ Up yer ass, which is why only 3 fingers fit.
\_ Got a new g/f eh?
\_ Two in the goo, and one in the poo.
\_ coal gasification is an expensive process requires a lot of
capital investment up front. The end process of it is more
close to natural gas than typical petro fuel you put into your car.
while coal gasification has a lot of benefit, lowering gas price
is not one of them. And FYI, petro industry has little incentive
to gasify coal cuz Bush country just relaxed the environmental
standard on tail gas emission in its "clear sky initiative."
\_ taunt the bill as you like, we will have clear skies by the
year 4010
\_ What is the name for the process that Nazi Germany used to
convert Coal into something they used to run their tanks then?
The reason I am asking is because I regard the cost of doing
this as a reasonable "maximum" price that gasoline can go to.
\_ STFW for Friedrich Bergius, or the Fischer-Tropsch process.
I'm not sure of the correct spelling. I think the Germans
used 3 different processes or so--also look for PAG -- used
during WWII, but I'm not sure if that's just for engine oil
or also fuel oil. I think National Carbide and IG Farben did
a lot of research on these. -John |
