this is great news, I was a show last night that had this owner/operator of the company last night he openly talked about and brought samples of the new fuel in on the show... They can produce fuel from Nat gas and or coal/coke. Plant is supposed to be in Mississippi someplace. but I think they are headquartered in Colorado.

this is good news I didn't see when they expect to make profits but listening in it sounded as if profits were to be had as long as fuel prices were above the $2.25/gallon range!!!

currently the new plant only makes some 500 gallons a day for experimental uses and to give to the US EPA for testing & approval. I'm sure that this has been done b4 the Germans were way ahead of the ballgame making the stuff for AV-GAS & Tank fuel back in WWII. I'm not sure why they didn't keep this going back then other than cost vs oil. BUT listening to them last night they said that they have a NEW process that they have patent on so ???

I bought stock in there this AM. (ticker symbol "RTK" ) and already up nearly 0.50C/share on a cheap 2.50 stock. for anyone that has been following the stock market info from a different post..

I often wonder about synthetic fuel possibilities,, has it always been cost prohibitive or was it something someone didn't want around for what ever reasons? I am not a chemist by any stretch!! but why can't we just mix up some elements and have gas? or mix some different elements and have another combustable liquid that can be used as gas or diesel?

Good luck on the stock purchase,,, just watch the liquidity of those types of shares,, you can make 6 bucks a share, but if no one wants to buy it from you at those levels,,,,well you know.

I think it was more a cost to produce thing? that is what makes this company's discovery different than what has been the NORM. that was my take on the chow last night which was on cnbc investor show last night. I missed about 1/2 of the show unfortunately!

as far as the stock thing, at $2/something/share it is not hard to get a large qty & sell off when news breaks on regular stations. that may take a while as it has not been approved yet, but airlines and fleet transports are calling for a QUICK approval. the next hindrance is a plant that can mass produce fuel... this may not be an issue as existing plants may be able to make it with little changes required over using crude as a base.? BUT the tech can be sold or issued permits to XYZ companies to produce it..?
