It won't happen because of the environmental laws. Hell they have a
tough time just upgrading the existing facilities.

Jeff, step away from the troll. Just quit replying to him; it's not
like he's going to start making sense all of a sudden.

That may well be if the price of crude get high enough to make the process
competitive. Consumers are not going to buy higher cost alternative fuels
just to save the planet. they will only do so when they can save money.

Re: We Could Build a Coal-to-Gasoline Conversion Plant
 
Had you been watching things in the seventies when President Carter tried to
regulate the distribution of motor fuels, you would have seen that
attempting to control supply or prices, as did President Nixon only led to
shortages. In a free economy the best conservator is price. Price is the
only way to reduce the INCREASE in the consumption of oil and its products.
What is controlling the price today is increased demand and the commodities
market speculators making the money off of that growth in demand.
