It's just hydro-carbons, hydrogen and carbon.
Take a source, break them down under heat, pressure, catalyst, add some hydrogen if need be. And there you go, liquid fuel. Gasoline, diesel or one of the alcohol family.
Problem is the cost of the base stock, the equipment cost, energy input cost and value of the finished product.
North America is out of significant new natural gas reserves. Gas heat and fertilizer costs? You haven't seen anything yet.
In the days of natural gas into gasoline, natural gas was a waste product that was flared off at the well head.
Coal ga$ification along with some ethanol and bio-die$el will be the an$wer in the U$.
Canada has the 2nd largest deposit of oil anywhere in the world. Problem is the stuff is in the Tarsands. It takes most of production oil just to make process steam. The steam is used to thin the tar so it can be removed from the sand.
Alberta is dead set against using anything nuclear. Nuclear is an extremely cheap source of steam but Alberta doesn't want energy competition.
The day will come when an Advanced Candu will be tied into the tarsands process. Canada will then become the Arabs of the north. The US will have to invade in order to keep us safe and secure.
