Then Senator Frank Murkowski said in 2002 news conference "Recent events in the Middle East," such as the bombing of the USS Cole, "have given us yet another reminder that we are being held hostage to foreign oil." Murkowski said the situation could be remedied if the United States became less dependent on foreign oil. He went on to say that: "a show from the administration of the mere intent to reduce dependence on foreign crude would create a drop in oil prices". HERE WE ARE JULY 2009, AND WHAT HAS THE U.S. CONGRESS DONE TO REDUCE U.S. DEPENDENCE ON IMPORTED CRUDE - ALMOST NOTHING! IN 2005 CONGRESS PROVIDED ENERGY CREDITS FOR COAL AND BIOMASS BASED F-T FUELS - NOW WE MUST ADD NATURAL GAS TO THE FORMULA GREAT JOB CONGRESS! THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH! THANK CONGRESSMAN DON YOUNG AND SENATOR TED STEVENS *** CAN BE MADE BIODEGRADABLE IS NON-TOXIC IS A PRISTINE FUEL *** We have been asked by several Western State Agencies to develop a program that can target the people through the media on the benefits of the Fischer-Tropsch process while debunking the claims of harmful emissions. This is no easy chore and one we rather doubt will swing anyone’s opinion if we try to address it from a “technical” position. In fact we rather doubt that saying or showing the capture of emissions whether they are solids, liquids or gasses will make a difference. We do believe however that concentrating on the finished fuel, the F-T diesel and its already EPA approved as non toxic qualities will capture their attention. While we can provide information on sequestering of CO2, the capture of heavy metals along with other pollutants, the selling point will be one of ANRTL's staff drinking from a vial of our F-T diesel. (See ANRTL's Peter Tijm as he sips F-T diesel at a presentation in Anchorage June 20, 2008 DON'T DO THIS AT HOME KIDS it tastes like COD LIVER OIL with the same end result) Don’t try this at home kids will be the disclaimer for TV and the press - it tastes like Cod Liver Oil.
F-T fuels are manufactured under a totally different process from a crude oil refinery. Crude oil refineries capture little if any emissions and produce fuels that are highly toxic - that can kill you, even if you don’t drink them. The manufacture of F-T is an expensive process but the resulting fuels, while totally compatible with today’s engines are cleaner burning and are produced from domestic resources – not IMPORTED OIL and are NOT PETROLEUM BASED!. Jobs, thousands of jobs, if not millions will be created in the U.S. Tens of billions of dollars will not flow to the Middle East but to states throughout the U.S. F-T fuels will provide the long term domestic transportation fuels to bridge the gap from today’s petroleum based vehicles and tomorrows still unknown transportation fuels/energy requirement. |
