Fed Rate Cuts Backfire, Lift Gold and Oil into Orbit

Fascinating discussion.
I do love geothermal, and I am a great believer in solar power. But, these are long-lead changeovers. I don't think you've given enough consideration to liquified coal with C02 sequestration. This process creates a clean fuel for new, low-emission diesel engines (now available in Germany). It's way-cheaper to produce than gasoline, right at the mine, requires no catalytic cracking refineries, can be distributed by pipeline, and will fit into the existing "gas station" distribution scheme. We have an enormous, humongous supply of coal, right here in North America. Want to make the Saudis quiver? Just announce a government aid program to Americans and Canadians who will buy a new-design diesel equipped to run on liquified coal from HERE! Yes, there will be a transition, but the longer we waste our time and money operating vehicles powered by inefficient, costly, four-cycle internal combustion Otto engines, the longer we will be economically enslaved to potentates who despise us.

A company that is deep into liquified coal is Headwaters (HO). Cjeck it out!
