Mr Creosote - I always thought he was more a heavy oil / tar sands kind of guy...

I've always thought your work was good, Gav, as in this excellent report, but when you whipped out Mr. Creosote, my favorable opinion was confirmed beyond any doubt.

Here's my view of coal-to-liquids, underground or not.

Thanks Dave.

That Holy Grail scene is another classic - "its a mere flesh wound !".

Also, it might be of interest here to read my column on the U.S. Air Force's plans to partially convert its jets to CTL by 2015.

They seem to be a bit worried about peak oil effects on available jet fuel and its price going forward.

In the meantime, U.S. air carriers are dropping like flys...
