In further support of our contention that CO2 - generated by our coal use - should be and could be a valuable raw material resource, we submit the enclosed information from Novomer, who are reducing to commercial practice the CO2 recycling technologies developed, and being developed, by Cornell University.
 
An excerpt:
 
"Novomer uses carbon dioxide as a major input in a competitively priced, precision-quality, chemical process that produces a class of uniform polymers, plastics and other chemicals."
 
Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is a valuable by-product from our use of coal in the generation of power, or in the conversion of coal into liquid fuels.
