As further evidence of just how efficient and sophisticated the technology for converting our abundant Coal into more versatile liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons had, some several decades ago, among the closed circle of Big Oil, and US Government initiates, become, we recently submitted information concerning an improvement on Coal conversion technology, an improvement financed, through our US Government, by our tax dollars, that related to the recovery, and reuse, of metal catalysts from the residues of Coal conversion.

In an earlier dispatch, now accessible on the West Virginia Coal Association's web site via the link:
General Electric Recycles CO2 to Liquid Fuels | Research & Development;
we made report of technology that had been developed by one of our nation's more venerable corporations, General Electric, which embodies certain components of what might be a comprehensive system for the capture of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, and the subsequent conversion of that Carbon Dioxide into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

Believe it or not, the United States Environmental Protection Agency confirms herein what we have many times documented in other of our reports:
The conversion of Coal into liquid hydrocarbon replacements for anything we now derive from conventional, natural petroleum sources can be done efficiently, cleanly and in an environmentally-acceptable way.

Right off the bat, we want to call attention to the way the United States Department of Energy titles the information we bring to you in this dispatch.
We note first, without referencing any of our past reports documenting the fact, since many more are to follow, that we have already many times documented that Coal Fly Ash, and even Flue Gas Desulfurization scrubber sludge, have rather large potentials for use in the making of cement and concrete, and other basic construction materials.
