WHat's wrong with fuel from Coal??
Even the oil producing countirs of Iran and Nigeria are using the SASOL 
process, and maybe soon the Chinese... So why aren't we??

Quote:
Sasol Ltd. is a South African company involved in mining, energy, chemicals and 
synfuels.

In particular, they produce petrol and diesel profitably from coal and natural 
gas using Fischer-Tropsch process.
(notice the word 'profitably' --- dmg)

The company has factories at Sasolburg and Secunda (Secunda CTL) and has taken 
a stake in projects under construction in Qatar (Oryx GTL), Iran (Arya 
Polymers) and Nigeria (Escravos GTL). Sasol senior officials are also from time 
to time involved in senior level negotiations with their China counterparts 
with the view on establishing a chemical plant in China, being the fastest 
growing economy in the world.
Unquote:

Google SASOL.

I've used their auto gas and South African Airways uses their Avgas. 
I've been to their Sasolburg plant and it was non-polluting!!

Must be "NIHS"  -- the "Not Invented Here Syndrome" !!
