Why Is Diesel More Expensive Than Regular Gas?

The single greatest hope for the US to reduce dependence on crude oil for transportation fuel is developing diesel fuel, heating oil and jet fuel from coal. The technology is ready to deploy USING CO2 sequestration and producing ultra clean burning fuels... thus environmentally friendly. Refineries / processing facilities can be built by an American company, Rentech, at the mouth of the coal mine... therefore, no NIMBY problems.

As a nation we must institute a plan to encourage commercialization of the technology and consumer demand for the fuel. But in our exceedingly politically correct nation, it's doubtful that this will happen. Sad but true!

I encourage everyone reading this to investigate Rentech and Coal to Liquids technology. Then if it makes as much sense as I think it does, PLEASE WRITE TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE DEMANDING ACTION!
