australia’s fuel tank is almost empty. , page-9

Trying to act like the sophisticated troll lecturer with a thesis in a Forum when I have made a simple comment is bad behavior and doesn't wash with me.

My comment still stands and what you have mentioned is understood by all of us oldies here as we have posted many articles about it many times before which I am sure you have a collection of copy'n'paste articles floating around to help you wear your imaginary PHD glasses, but you fail to grasp why we are even contemplating UCG/GTL.

We are contemplating it because,

A.We are running out of easy and cheap oil.

B. Australia is in a bad position re fuel dependency from hostile Countries, therefore a matter of National Security.

Regardless of what propaganda you are on about and what Carbon Tax Big Red has put in place. When push comes to shove, this will happen. We have no choice.


You forgot to calculate the CO2 emissions from mining the open cut coal IMO. Not once it enters the Box.
