    U.S. Military's Alternative Fuel Campaign

    Does anybody think the U.S. Military's push to use synthetic fuel will actually work?  The Journal's article this morning on the subject was intriguing.  I never really condsidered how crippling it could be for the boys overseas if a major attack on specific refineries/pipelines took place.  I'm sure everyone here knows the dependence on Foreign Oil is a major threat.  But my God...the MIlitary spent $11.6 billion on fuel in 2006 and $12 billion in 2007.  There's now becoming a mutliple strategic reasons for the government to force an alternative fuel source and they're looking at coal.  Doesn't the U.S. sit on the largest coal bed in the world?
