Shell was looking at a Gas-to-Liquids plant in Louisiana but could not justify the economics. Qatar has their biggest plant.

Actually my nephew is a Chem Engineer who has worked at the Plant in Beulah North Dakota for over 30 years. Thye dig up the lignite coal and using chemical process that were developed by the NAZI regimee in 1943 they convert the coal to Natural Gas.

This process could also produce gas, diesel fuel and aviation gas and butane for your cigaretta lighter. This process is green!!!

Right now unemplyment is about 1% and six figures salaries are the norm.

But surely you would rather fund the Arabian Peninsula rather create jobs and wealth in the USofA!
