What is it? Well, it’s only a way for us to wean ourselves off of foreign oil.
You know…no big deal…
From the EPA (pdf):
Fischer-Tropsch technology converts coal, natural gas, and low-value refinery products into a high-value, clean-burning fuel. The resultant fuel is colorless, odorless, and low in toxicity. In addition, it is virtually interchangeable with conventional diesel fuels and can be blended with diesel at any ratio with little to no modification. Fischer-Tropsch fuels offer important emissions benefits compared with diesel, reducing nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter.
In any event, read more about this story from Wired, and, if you want, read what I wrote about Fischer-Tropsch back in August. Lots of info in that post too.
Just a thought that occured to me, could this be a possible campaign issue in 2006 and 2008?
Hmm…
