DOE CO2 to Methane via Geo-Sequestration

Methanogenic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Methane
 
Continuing with our thesis that the Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide isn't just a way to dispose of the gas, but a disguised recycling, at Coal Country's expense and to Big Oil's profit, of a valuable by-product of our coal-use industries, we submit the enclosed link and accompanying excerpt.
 
As we expand our research, it is becoming even more abundantly clear that enforced geologic sequestration of Carbon Dioxide is a deceitful gambit, a scheme designed to have our Coal-use industries pay for the "restocking" of depleted natural petroleum reservoirs with a raw material, CO2, that "bugs" will turn into a blend of gases which can then be used to manufacture liquid fuels and substitute petroleum products.
 
In confirmation of the research supporting that assertion we earlier reported from Germany, herein is the report of similar findings.
 

Exxon Makes Syngas from CO2 and CH4

United States Patent: 5266175
 
We some time ago reported on joint Swiss and Chinese development of a technology that uses "cool" dielectric plasma discharges and microwave radiation to recycle Carbon Dioxide into useful hydrocarbons.
 
They probably should have played it a little closer to the vest, or moved a little more assertively.
 
Exxon jumped on the technology, as witness this US Patent, linked above and excerpted below, with comment appended:
 
"United States Patent 5,266,175 - Conversion of methane, carbon dioxide and water using microwave radiation
 
Date: November 30, 1993
 
Inventor: William J. Murphy
 
Assignee: Exxon Research and Engineering Company
 

Westinghouse Converts Coal in Pittsburgh

United States Patent: 4158637
 
 
The old Westinghouse Electric Corporation, once headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, has, in the past few decades, gone through so many transformations, with bits and pieces of it being sold and traded to other companies such as Eaton, CBS and Northrop Grumman, that we can't even attempt an explanation.
 
However, prior to their dissolution, some of their scientists applied themselves to the technology of converting Coal into more versatile hydrocarbon compounds.
 
Comment follows our excerpt from the above link to:
 
"United States Patent 4,158, 637: Conversion of Coal into Hydrocarbons
 
Inventor: Jones, Andrew - Murrysville, PA; Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, PA
 

US Nobel Laureate Patents CoalTL

United States Patent: 4433192
 
We remind you of our earlier submission detailing US Patent 7608743, issued, just last year, to the University of Southern California's 1994 Nobel Prize winner, George Olah, for the "Efficient and selective chemical recycling of carbon dioxide to methanol, dimethyl ether and derived products".
 
It turns out that Nobel Laureate Olah has been at work on Carbon conversion technology for quite some time. As evidence, we submit another, much earlier, US Patent awarded to him for technology to utilize Methane, as can be synthesized from the Sabatier-type recycling of Carbon Dioxide or, as affirmed again in this United States Patent, from the hydrogasification of Coal, to manufacture Gasoline.
