Liquid Coal

Controversial due to it's relation to coal and it's suggested manufacturing method using nuclear plants, it is worth knowing that there are major coal industry advocates for this fuel as the popular replacement for Oil. How Liquid Coal compares to Biodiesel and CO2 emissions is also not fully known at this time, so it is recommended to study up very intensely on this issue independent of the links below.
