This dispatch will prove for you a rambling sort of affair, without a lot of truly new information being presented; and, we pray, after sort of having given up on hope, that the cadre of US Coal Country public press journalists who comprise, actually, the larger body of our direct addressee's for these reports, will prove themselves to have both the attention span and the patriotic motivation to follow it through, and will surprise us by doing so.

We've presented you with a number of reports documenting the development, by scientists at New Jersey's Princeton University, of technologies whereby Carbon Dioxide, as reclaimed from whatever handy source, can be recycled and consumed in the synthesis of valuable and needed hydrocarbon compounds.
As seen, for one example, in:
West Virginia Coal Association | Princeton University November 20, 2012 CO2 to Ethanol | Research & Development; concerning: "US Patent 8,313,634 - Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Organic Products; 2012; Inventors: Andrew Bocarsly and Emily Barton Cole, NJ; Assignee: Princeton University; Abstract: The invention relates to various embodiments of an environmentally beneficial method for reducing carbon dioxide. Claims: A method of converting carbon dioxide to provide at least one product selected from the group consisting of glyoxal, isopropanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, acetaldehyde and mixtures thereof";

United States Patent Application: 0080081844
We've introduced the topic of maximizing the value of Coal through the co-production, in a single, integrated facility, of both synthetic hydrocarbons and electrical power in a number of previous reports, such as:
West Virginia Coal Association | USDOE Promotes Coal for the Coproduction of Power and Fuels | Research & Development; concerning report of the USDOE-sponsored research project: "Clean Coal Technology: Coproduction of Power, Fuels and Chemicals; 2001; United States Department of Energy; National Energy Technology Laboratories; Executive Summary: Coproduction of power, fuels and chemicals offers an innovative, economically advantageous means of achieving the nation’s energy goals. Coproduction involves the integration of three major building blocks: Gasification of coal ... fuels to produce synthesis gas (syngas); Conversion of a portion of the syngas to high-value products such as liquid fuels and chemicals; Combustion of syngas to produce electric power. In coproduction, the relative amounts of syngas used for power generation or converted to fuels and chemicals depend on market demands. The goal of coproduction is to fully utilize the feedstock and maximize revenue streams. By permitting operation of the gasifier at full capacity to make syngas for either power generation or fuels and chemicals production, coproduction makes more efficient use of capital than when producing power alone"; and:
