5. It's good for "coal country"
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 11:40 AM by Coastie for Truth
---like West Virginia and the Monongahela Valley and I-70 corridors in Pennsylvania, and across Ohio and Indiana and Illinois on I-70, and down through West Virginia and Kentucky on I-79.

Why.

Because "Fischer-Tropsch Gasoline" is now cheaper then gasoline from crude oil. Link to article in Wikipedia -

Don't knock Fischer-Tropsch gasoline from domestic coal -- I worked in a Fischer-Tropsch lab and pilot plant when I was in college. The only real problem with Fischer-Tropsch was that OPEC could cut the cartelized price of crude and thereby kill Fischer-Tropsch.
