Continuing with our thesis that the Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide isn't just a way to dispose of the gas, but a disguised recycling, at Coal Country's expense and to Big Oil's profit, of a valuable by-product of our coal-use industries, we submit the enclosed link and accompanying excerpt.
As we expand our research, it is becoming even more abundantly clear that enforced geologic sequestration of Carbon Dioxide is a deceitful gambit, a scheme designed to have our Coal-use industries pay for the "restocking" of depleted natural petroleum reservoirs with a raw material, CO2, that "bugs" will turn into a blend of gases which can then be used to manufacture liquid fuels and substitute petroleum products.
In confirmation of the research supporting that assertion we earlier reported from Germany, herein is the report of similar findings.

The old Westinghouse Electric Corporation, once headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, has, in the past few decades, gone through so many transformations, with bits and pieces of it being sold and traded to other companies such as Eaton, CBS and Northrop Grumman, that we can't even attempt an explanation.
However, prior to their dissolution, some of their scientists applied themselves to the technology of converting Coal into more versatile hydrocarbon compounds.
Comment follows our excerpt from the above link to:
"United States Patent 4,158, 637: Conversion of Coal into Hydrocarbons
Inventor: Jones, Andrew - Murrysville, PA; Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, PA

As we have from time to time reported in our posts, the efficient liquefaction of Coal, into raw materials suitable for refining into hydrocarbon fuels, necessitates the hydrogenation, the "hydrotreating", of primarily carbonaceous compounds derived from Coal.
In direct Coal liquefaction processes, the additional hydrogenation can be accomplished by a Hydrogen donor solvent, as in WVU's "West Virginia Process", which, as we have documented, utilizes the chemical "tetralin" to effect liquefaction and hydrogenation.
Other researchers, working with indirect Coal liquefaction processes, wherein Coal is first converted into a synthesis gas, "syngas", which is subsequently condensed via catalysis into liquid hydrocarbons, have experimented with both steam and additional syngas to effect hydrogenation.
Herein, scientists at the Pittsburgh, PA, Energy Research Center, confirm that additional syngas, combined with steam and specific catalysts, can not only effectively hydrogenate syngas, but can do so more effectively than pure Hydrogen, as could be obtained, at much higher expense, from the electrolysis of water.

United States Patent: 4433192
We remind you of our earlier submission detailing US Patent 7608743, issued, just last year, to the University of Southern California's 1994 Nobel Prize winner, George Olah, for the "Efficient and selective chemical recycling of carbon dioxide to methanol, dimethyl ether and derived products".
It turns out that Nobel Laureate Olah has been at work on Carbon conversion technology for quite some time. As evidence, we submit another, much earlier, US Patent awarded to him for technology to utilize Methane, as can be synthesized from the Sabatier-type recycling of Carbon Dioxide or, as affirmed again in this United States Patent, from the hydrogasification of Coal, to manufacture Gasoline.
