United States Patent Application: 0110105630
We have now many times documented the plain fact, that, our own United States Government, through the United States Navy and the United States Department of Defense, now has in hand the technologies which would, if implemented, allow us to begin harvesting Carbon Dioxide from any available source, including the environment itself, and, then, to start converting that reclaimed Carbon Dioxide into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

We have, over the long course of our reportage, more than thoroughly documented the incontrovertible fact that our most iconic and familiar representative of the Big Oil clan, ExxonMobil, and it's precedent Mobil Oil and Esso/Exxon companies, clearly know how to efficiently convert our abundant domestic Coal into anything, quite literally anything, we now mortgage our nation's financial future to the moneyed, alien powers of OPEC for the supply of.

We've documented many times that Coal-fired power plant fly ash can be utilized, in a number of forms and in a number of ways, in the manufacture of Portland-type cement and of concrete, with the consequent benefits of utilizing what is typically thought of only as a noxious solid waste that must, at some great expense saddled onto the backs of consumers of Coal-based electrical power, be gotten rid of in some fashion satisfactory to groups notorious for not being satisfied with much of anything; and, the conservation of resources that would otherwise be consumed in the mining and processing of the traditional raw materials that go into the making of Portland-type cement and of concrete formed from that cement.

An excerpt:
"'The study throws serious doubts on the notion that natural gas could replace coal, averting further global warming.
"'Natural gas plants emit about half the GHGs emitted by coal plants of the same capacity, yet a transition to natural gas would require a century or longer to attain even a 25 percent reduction in ... warming ," the report states. "Natural gas substitution thus may not be as beneficial in the near or medium term as extrapolation from ‘raw' annual GHG emissions might suggest.'"

United States Patent Application: 0090285739
We've submitted numerous reports concerning the Carbon Dioxide recycling technology that has been established by a team of University of Southern California scientists, a team led by USC's resident Nobel Laureate, George Olah.
The CO2 utilization technologies developed by Olah and his colleagues enable the efficient transformation of Carbon Dioxide into liquid hydrocarbon fuels, most especially the incredibly valuable alcohol, Methanol; which can itself be used as the basic feedstock for manufacturing nearly any other organic or hydrocarbon compound, including various types of plastics normally derived from petrochemicals and, via, for one example, ExxonMobil's MTG(r) technology, Gasoline.
