United States Patent: 5459166

Since we just made further report, as seen in:

West Virginia Coal Association | The University of Akron Improves Coal to Gasoline Process | Research & Development; concerning: "'A Novel Synthesis Route for Liquid Fuels from Coal-derived Syngas'; Makarand Gogate, Conrad J. Kulik, and Sunggyu Lee; The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio; Fuel Science Program; Electric Power Research Institute; California; Abstract: Coal-derived syngas can be converted to methanol using Liquid Phase Methanol Synthesis Process. Methanol can be further converted to gasoline using the Mobil Methanol-To-Gasoline (MTG) process. The combination of commercial syngas-to-methanol technology with the MTG Process thus provides a ready synthetic route for liquid hydrocarbon fuels";

United States Patent Application: 0130035497

Our headline is overly simplistic. What a scientist at one of Taiwan's major universities has done is establish a way in which Carbon Dioxide can be chemically consumed as a raw material in the synthesis of a type of compound that can be itself utilized as a component in the further synthesis of certain types of plastic, wherein the original Carbon Dioxide would be, in theory forever, profitably and productively "sequestered"; but, which compound has other uses, as well, where the CO2 sequestration might be more transient.

United States Patent: 6197200

We include in this dispatch two United States Patents, issued to unrelated companies, that demonstrate related technologies which could, we would think, be integrated to enable a better, fuller use of two byproducts arising from our economically essential use of Coal in the generation of truly abundant and truly affordable electric power.

Back in 2008, just as we first started confirming, through presentation of irrefutable document evidence to an apparently disinterested West Virginia newspaper editor, the stark reality of the fact that our abundant West Virginia and United States Coal reserves can be profitably converted, through long-known, established, efficient and commercially-practiced techniques, into quite literally anything the leadership of this nation continues to allow us all to be extorted by the inimical nations pf OPEC for the supply of, including Gasoline and Diesel fuel, the United States Department of Energy, to their credit, published that same fact, boldly, in a promotional brochure that, by our way of thinking, every Federal-level elected representative, from anywhere and everywhere in United States Coal Country, should have used their franking privileges to have delivered directly to the mail box of every registered voter in US Coal Country.
