Coal gasification is the first step in CTL, and was the only info I had found in my article's. I hadnt heard of the Fischer-Tropsch process, and you didnt mention it either. You where very vague in the way you worded your post. I guess I little more research on my part was needed.

This still doesn't change the fact that CTL isnt the answer to our energy problems, or the fact that it wont work on this large of a scale.

(PS my parents haven't paid a dime for any of my college education, it's been paid in full by federal financial aid, and scholarships which where all earned by me.)

Judging by most of your posts, calling anyone who watches Fox news idiots for one. I'm gonna go ahead and chalk this one up as a loss for the tax payers. The fact that you even think any of these news channels are non-biased, and not spewing total BS 24-7 is astonishing. I personally try and watch a little bit of them all, even suffering through 10-20 minutes of Olberman's liberal bias. He makes Bill O-Reilly look like a genius and non-partisan. I hate O-Reilly too. It amazes me that these news channels get away with straight out lies 24-7. Your parents should adult-channel lock you out of MSNBC before you go even farther down the wrong path.
