Here's a little piece of legislation you all may find interesting.

Coal Liquid Fuel Act (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-2208)

Here's the Sierra Club's take on it.

Coal-to-Liquid Fuel Promotion (http://www.sierraclub.org/legislativetracker/110S155.asp)

Very interesting. I did a little digging on the Sierra Club's website and found a more detailed explanation of liquid coal.

NRDC had a few things to say about it as well.

And I just recently found out about Woody Harrelson's website. Here is an editorial column from the Lexington Herald-Leader that is critical of the liquid coal idea.

Thanks for bringing this up, Shadow. I had never heard of liquid coal before reading this thread.
