BlankHowdy Vorts,
Watching the world financials try to function can give one pause. There is a
problem.
The world has been operating on model based on a quasi-Keynesian theory of
economics since FDR's New Deal of the 1930's. That model served until JFK paid
his debt to big labor and LBJ used

Eric Beinhocker examines a new model for economics in THE ORIGIN OF WEALTH:
The Radical Remaking of Economics and What It Means for Business and
Society. Pretty provocative and it may answer Richard's criterion.
Good weekend, all.

Well, I ordered the book based on the less than enthusiastic (first)
review on the Amazon site. The economic ideas seems rather logical, but
perhaps too idealist and remote for use in actual decision making, as
opposed to practical solutions to present problems.
Speaking of practicality - has
You don't even have to convert coal to methanol... When you consider how much
energy is used by many manufacturing processes, to name but one major energy
using sector, converting them from, say natural gas or oil would make a huge
dent in overall energy usage.

Yes... when I sent my email to the journalist in question, I was very careful
to avoid talking about, or knocking the work, that this chap is doing out in

Yes the word greed is most appropriate. Oddly enough, when I think about the
oil gang and its greed, I don't so much think of the oil companies
themselves, who do put money, time and effort into getting the stuff out of the
ground and processing it (don't all shout at me at once!!!), I think

The main problem, as I believe we all know, is that the green crowd don't
want us burning ANYTHING, so the proposal to dig up coal and use if for
ANYTHING will be met with fierce resistance, mostly by bigmouths.

Whether you turn coal into syngas or methanol or whatever, you are still
desequestrating fossil carbon. If you think this is a good idea then you don't
understand the situation. If you don't understand the situation we are in, it
is your duty to humanity to shut up!

That is OK so long as it is net carbon neutral.
If you turn biomass into syngas then that solution is
carbon neutral. If you turn syngas from coal into
