the best part is that the process is not cheap, can justify governmental subsidies, mix up to 10-15% into gasoline, fab for nations where gasoline subsidized (china, indonesia, venezuela, ...)

and as oil price zoom, makes it easier for politicians and local big families to game with the american technology of looting via ethanol, be it from coal or food

the technology may at times be championed as 'clean' and even 'green'. it is neither.

no one has tried to market the ctl tech as renewable - they will figure something out

celanese makes a fortune by commanding 70% of global cigarette filter market, killing people. now they shall try hand at smoking the world a more efficient way.

to be fair, ctl can enable use of trapped coal resources and so extend our collective time line to either war and perhaps give time for development of true alternative / renewable / green / clean energies.
