An Energy Policy that Makes Cents (and Sense)

Coal ALREADY has a means to make clean energy and that is through conversion to methane and methanol...see Methanex (MEOH) who is already doing this in South America. This in turn can be converted to gasoline and diesel fuel in the short term by the Fisher-Tropse process. This is described in the following article available online: gasification.org/Docs/...
The general process is called Integrated Coal Refinement (ICR) and can be researched easily online.

Reversal conversion of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere (creating greenhouse effect) has some active research in albedo modification through increasing cloud cover over the oceans. Here is a link to a basic paper on that proposal: ccc2006.ca/docs/Abstra...
